Ricciardo has identified the biggest changes to the Monaco Grand Prix circuit since he last raced in the principality.

The Australian experienced a career high around the streets of Monte-Carlo, winning with Red Bull in 2018 in what he described as ‘redemption’ for an escaped win in 2016.

After achieving his first-ever pole position at the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix, Ricciardo looked likely to take a win around the legendary circuit.

However, a slow pit stop from the team meant he lost time to Lewis Hamilton who snatched victory from the then Red Bull driver.

Ricciardo has not raced in Monaco since 2022, replacing Nyck De Vries at Alpha Tauri (now VCARB) midway through last season.Ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, Ricciardo has described the changes to the circuit since the last time he raced here.
