Despite this, the RB star put in a strong performance at last weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, qualifying fifth, less than two-tenths behind pole-sitter George Russell.
Previously, Ricciardo had only picked up points in the Miami sprint.

Daniel Ricciardo caught out by Alex Albon
Although he would eventually finish ahead of him due to a DNF, one of the drivers that overtook Ricciardo around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was Williams' Alex Albon, who pulled off a stunning double move on the Aussie and Haas' Kevin Magnussen.
In a light-hearted poke to rub salt into the wound post-race, Albon took to social media wearing Ricciardo merchandise to remind him of the matter.
"Double overtake and a free hoodie? Cheers @danielricciardo (for both)👍," the Williams star posted on Instagram.
