Ricciardo hammered by FIA for Norris, Raikkonen overtakes

Daniel Ricciardo was given two five-second penalties for his actions in a crazy end to the French Grand Prix, in which the Australian left the track to pull off overtakes on both Lando Norris and Kimi Raikkonen en route to crossing the line in seventh place.

Norris suffered late mechanical issues from seventh, allowing Ricciardo, Raikkonen and Nico Hulkenberg to close up behind.

Eventually the McLaren man ended up behind them all, although perhaps slightly unfairly as Ricciardo forced him wide after leaving the track at the chicane.

The Australian then went around Raikkonen on the straight, having once again put all four wheels over the white line, opening the door for a post-race penalty.

As a result of the sanction, Ricciardo drops to 11th and out of the points.
