Poor Daniel Ricciardo. His Infiniti Red Bull Racing car retired with 30 laps to go in the Brazilian Grand Prix. Watch that left wheel. Also, watch that suspension bar that, uh, doesn't look particularly attached over there.
This ends Ricciardo's streak of fifteen races without a single DNF. Each of those fifteen races scored Daniel points, too.
I blame shaving that groovy 'stache. It was like Samson's hair, but for race cars, willing the car forward by the sheer power of awesome.

Currently, Daniel leads Valtteri Bottas by 59 points. That lead will shrink now that Ricciardo will finish 18th, with the first retirement of the race today.
