Daniel Ricciardo refuses to apologise for aggressive display in Hungary

Ricciardo defends aggressive performance

Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo has defended his approach in the Hungarian Grand Prix, after he was involved in two incidents.

The Australian made a series of daring overtakes, but he made contact with Valtteri Bottas on lap one and Nico Rosberg late in the race before finishing third.

He said at a press conference: "I left everything on the track. Whether some competitors like it or not, that's how I like to do it and how I'll always do it.

"I feel all my moves on track were...I was inspired today. I could have sat in third and accepted that, but I had the chance to win and I went for it. It's a shame how it ended up but at the same time I don't regret what I did."

Ricciardo sits seventh in the drivers' standings.
