Daniel Ricciardo made no secret of his frustration after seeing a stunning early rise thr🌊ough the field go to waste when he was forced to retire from the Mexican Grand Prix due to a power unit failure on his Red Bull Formula 1 car.

Ricciardo started the race from 16th after taking a grid penalty for taking three new power unit elements ahead of the race, with the fresh parts being fitted after qualifying to help him get to the end of the season with no further ಌdrops.

Ricciardo charged from P16 to run as high as eighth in the opening stages in Mexico, only to be forced to pa🍌rk his car up in the garage after just five laps due to a suspected turbocharger issue.

"I'm obviouꦏsly frustrated. The first few laps were pretty good, we got up inside the 🤡top eight I think, maybe even seventh," Ricciardo said.

"I could hear the turbo started to sound funny, and then it just had no power left. I was able to limp it back to the pits, but that was it. It see𓄧ms like probably a turbo failure atꦦ this stage.

"It's a shame. We put the new one in thinkin𝓡g that would be a bit more durable, but yeah..."

While Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen was able to charge to victory at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, four of the six Renault-powered cars in the race retired with issues ꦑas the high altitude nature of the circuit caused problem🐻s.

"It was always going to be tough here coming this weekend, but why mor🌱e tough this year than last year,𝐆 I have no idea," Ricciardo said.

"We certainly struggled to keep everything in check. The weekend was looking 💎good on Friday and turned pret♌ty bad. 

"I still don't know how I can smile.  ඣI'm certainly hurting inside. It's one o🌳f those ones I guess.

"Hopefully it doesn't ꧟hurt us in Brazil🥀 now. We'll see."
