Daniel Ricciardo inherited an elusive maiden win of the season yesterday after world champion Lewis Hamilton retired from the lead with a  blown engine in an eventful Malaysian Grand Prix.

The Australian was followed home by teammate Max Verstappen, securing Red Bull's first one-two finish since the 2013 season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix.

Hamilton, who took pole with a scorching lap on Saturday, led away cleanly at the start, keeping clear of the chaos unfolding behind him.
