Daniel Ricciardo gets penalty for last F1 race before dropping out of sport

Daniel Ricciardo will start what could be the final race of his Formula 1 career with a grid penalty.

That punishment was handed out after he caused a crash which took both himself and Kevin Magnussen out of the race in Sao Paulo on Sunday. Their Brazilian Grand Prix lasted for less than a minute, as a result of the contact instigated by the Australian.

As they battled for position in the early exchanges, Ricciardo began to make a move on the Haas driver going into Turn 8. After quickly realising he had misjudged it the Aussie tried to back out, but could not slow down in time to prevent his McLaren from making contact.
