Daniel Ricciardo: "It's great to have another podium"

Daniel Ricciardo has spoke of his happiness to return to the podium after finishing third in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Australian's second podium of the season, the first coming after he missed out on an almost certain victory in Monaco, moves him up to third in the drivers' championship behind the runaway Mercedes duo.

"It's great to have another podium," he said. "Obviously the first podium [of the season] was a bit bittersweet, but this is one that I can definitely enjoy. For sure, the smile is back and I'm super-happy to be here."

Ricciardo has been on the podium in Hungary every year since he began driving for Red Bull in 2014, and he believes his latest top-three shows that Red Bull are still improving.

"It's three years in a row that I've been on the podium at this circuit, so it's been good to me," he said. "We are continually getting better, which is great."
