On Ricciardo's DNF... Horner blamed clutch failure. But... the clutch is a bought-in product made by AP Racing, and is the same product used by a couple of other teams also. The reason for the clutch failure was because of a hydraulic system failure. Which is an in-house, Red Bull Racing built system. So how can Horner blame the clutch for Ricciardo's DNF?? It was a Red Bull failure. But, Horner and his sidekick Marko laid the blame on the clutch. Will RBR ever put their hand up and admit that it was a fault of their own? Ever??
Was reading this article on Ricciardo's results pre and post Renault announcement.

A 50% DNF rate since announcing he is leaving the team. Has his DNF's post announcement effected RBR's chance of securing 3rd in the WCC? No. DR's DNF's did not effect it at all. And even if he DNF'd the next two rounds, RBR would still secure 3rd in the WCC.
Ricciardo has said that he will not bother showing up for the next two races. So who will be driving in his place?
