Daniel Ricciardo has no regrets over Renault switch despite engine woes

Daniel Ricciardo says he's still excited about moving to Renault in 2019 despite all the Renault-related issues he has faced during the season.

Ricciardo's most recent retirement at the U.S. Grand Prix was as a result of a sudden loss of power from his Renault power unit -- the same issue which saw him retire from the Bahrain Grand Prix in April. The Australian has retired from five of the last ten grands prix compared to Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen, who has just one DNF to his name in the same period.

Following the Hungarian Grand Prix, Ricciardo announced his shock switch to the Renault works team to partner Nico Hulkenberg for 2019.
