Daniel Ricciardo said he was adamant about changing onto intermediate tyres, but his stop came too late to make an impact at the end.

Rain fell in the closing stages of a dramatic Russian Grand Prix on Sunday, with drivers taking varying approaches surrounding when to switch onto wet-weather tyres.

Unlike team-mate Lando Norris, whose probable race win was scuppered by pitting too late after he opted to stay out, Ricciardo had been wanting to come in earlier to try and take advantage of those faltering around him.

The running order mixed up significantly at the end of the race and Ricciardo wound up finishing P4 on the road, and he remains convinced that pitting earlier than he did was the right thing to do.
