Had to have been. He was issued a 5 spot grid penalty for a gearbox change. Wonder if the hydraulics were not properly fitted. Sounded like there was an issue with changing gears.
Aborted start, looks like someone was in the wrong spot, gives more time to get Ricciardo back on track. As if there wasn't enough tension for the start.
I want to be optimistic & hope that Red Bull learned of a reliability issue from RIC parking again, but afraid it was lingering issue still & just "wasted" time. Edit: Horner told Sky it was an engine failure. Hmm...
