Ricciardo recalls Montreal 2014 win and Red Bull celebrations

Daniel Ricciardo has described his maiden Formula 1 victory at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix as the highest high in the sport, recalling the chaos on the podium and the celebrations that followed in Montreal.

Ricciardo won at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after both Mercedes drivers suffered power unit failures, with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton both losing hybrid power. Ricciardo, starting sixth, passed Rosberg into the final chicane on lap 68 and crossed the line 4.236 seconds clear. He said he barely knew how to react, describing the moment as a young laugh of shock and joy, and recalled Sebastian Vettel showering him with champagne on the podium.

The win also sparked a spontaneous celebration at the team hotel, with the team's flights home cancelled. Ricciardo said he caused a ruckus on a rooftop bar before the adrenaline wore off and he went to bed around 1am, while team members looked worse for wear at breakfast the next day.
