Daniel Ricciardo's stunning victory in China last weekend came in a Formula 1 race that was as good as it gets in the modern era.

The mixture of his perfectly "brutal" overtaking moves, brilliant team strategy, variation in tyre compounds and some controversial clashes elsewhere served up a treat for fans. Coming just three weeks after a season-opener in Melbourne that prompted talk of an overtaking crisis, the Shanghai race also helped to calm nerves that F1 was at risk of being a total yawn fest in 2018.

But while the pressure for a knee-jerk response to spice up the action has certainly been eased by two good races in China and Bahrain, it will not stop the current intense focus on the scale of the revolution that should come from 2021as part of Liberty's grand vision for the championship.
