Renault Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo says he feels “disgraced” by the stewards decision to exclude 𝓀him from qualifying for the Singapore Gran꧂d Prix.

After qualifying eighth ꦿin Singapore, Ricciardo was thrown out of the final classification after his Renault was found to have exceeded the maximum permitted MGU-K power out꧟put during Q1.

Renaul♊t claimed Ricciardo gained just one microsecond through the pow๊er unit spike, which resulted in the Australian starting from the back of the grid.

Ricciardo fought through the field but ultimately finished 14th after a late collision with Antonio Giovi꧙nazzi forced him into an unscheduled pit stop for a puncture.

Asked how he r🐟eacted to the news of the penalty, Ricci๊ardo replied: “Disgracefully. I had a very restless night sleep trying to go through it in my head, why that penalty would be so harsh.

“For me, it happened on one occurrence on one lap. If it was happening at the same corner every lap throughout the session, I would not complain at♌ al🅠l.

"It’s like track limits, you go off and gain and advantage, delete that lap. We didn’t even gain an adva🍸ntage from this and yet they delete the whole session.

“I was disgraced by that. I voiced my opinion and I will keep vo🔯icing it. They are doing all the great things by letting us race on track and all that, but then what’s the point of not giving penalties on track but then giving a massive penalty for something that’s out of my control.

“I have some strong words for them, but I’ll leave th♏at,” he added. “I think you know what I feel. They rui🅰ned my weekend.

“A 12-hour flight return, I feel was bit for not🔜hing. So maybe they will pay for my seat on the way h𓆏ome tomorrow.

“[There’s] a lot of anger, and you feel🔯 hard done by because I’ve never pissed off anyone there person♓ally. I don’t have a grudge on anyone. I’d think just a bit of common sense would prevail.”
