Daniel Ricciardo: This years F1 champion will feel more fulfilled
As the season nears its halfway stage and the teams take a collective deep breath following the sport's first-ever triple header, the Red Bull driver finds himself in fourth place, 65 points behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.

But equally he believes the days of one team dominating are over, and that can only be a good thing for a sport.
'It's been a bigger battle,' Ricciardo told CNN The Circuit at Silverstone.
'I'll use Lewis [Hamilton] as an example but let's say any Mercedes driver in the last five years -- the fight has just been with them and their teammate.
'Sure, maybe me, Max [Verstappen] or Seb [Vettel] has taken a win here or there. But I think this year is going to be more rewarding.
'Whoever wins the title -- even if it's Lewis again -- I think he'll feel more fulfilled.'
Mercedes duo Hamilton and Nico Rosberg won 19 of the 21 races in 2016 -- the German marque taking the Constructor's Championship by a whopping 297 points.
By contrast, after 10 Grands Prix this season, four different drivers have already topped the podium -- Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen and Ricciardo all getting in on the action.
