The result added another point to the Australian's tally, putting him on 12 for the season, ten behind RB team-mate Yuki Tsunoda.
Aussie facing fight for his future
Ricciardo is facing a fight to secure a seat on the grid next season given his underwhelming displays so far in 2024, with reserve driver Liam Lawson tipped to take his place.
Ricciardo - who previously drove alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull in the early stages of his career - disagrees with the Austrian's view however, claiming RB are much more than that.
Speaking to media after the Belgian GP, Ricciardo said: “Yeah, it does feel different, and I think it’s easy to kind of rebrand it and say we’ve got a new look and with this and that, but your actions have to follow.
“I think, Laurent [Mekies, team principal], Peter [Bayer, CEO], Alan [Permane, racing director], a lot of guys that have come in have done that.
“It’s not that what was happening in the past with Franz [Tost, former team boss], in that example, wasn’t the right thing, but a change sometimes is good - you bring in new ideas.
"They’ve all spent time in other teams, organisations. And yeah, it’s just a new way of looking at things.
“I think that in itself and their intentions and the way they go about it has made people kind of stand up and say, alright, this isn’t a junior team anymore.
“We’re making, kind of, big boy decisions and we’re taking risks and we’re setting targets and high targets and ones that we realistically think that we can attain. So, it’s cool. It’s cool to see it.
“I’m probably too, in a way, like honest in myself that if it felt like a junior team still, I wouldn’t feel comfortable here.
"I’m 35 now. So, I think I would feel a bit out of place, and I certainly don’t. So I think that’s also a good way to probably comprehend it.”
