Daniel Ricciardo believes he could have challenged for points if he and Nico Hulkenberg had been switched at the safety car restart.
Ricciardo had just been pitted for new tyres under the safety car, whilst Hulkenberg was on old tyres.
The duo eventually finished 12th and 13th in another disappointing race for the team.
Ricciardo said after the race: “I think where we missed out was the restart.
“We lost again track position pitting and then we fell behind Nico. He was on a used tyre, I was on a new.

“We had a chance that first lap honestly to attack the guys in front but we were told we were able to fight. I couldn’t really see him advancing with that tyre as much as I could with min.
“So again we’ll see now, sort it out if again, strategically, we could’ve maximised one car over the other.”
