Hats of to the star of the day, Ricciardo. Flawless drive and as the season goes by is making Vettel look less of a real champ and Newey more of a genius these past seasons.... one piece of data that says it all, Riccardo is the first redbull driver to win a race starting from behind third place of the grid in redbull's history! 

 

From what I read (did no watch the the race) Ricciardo could only pass Vettel as the wheel changing procedure on his car was done slightly quicker than on Vettel's car? Sounds like good luck in this case?

Also, Vettel did the better qualifying than Ricciardo. Compared to the last races it seems that Vettel has not only made up any backlog but even moved ahead again.

Hardly, Ric was faster tan Vettel in all the stints of all three qualifying sessions except for the very last one were Vettel had a perfect lap and Riccardo did not and ended 0.040 sec behind, that and how he managed his race strategy even though he had the disadvantage of getting second pick for pit stop strategy, gave him the win and starting from the behind at that.

Luck may have been the first race, but at this point of the season luck had nothing to do with it, Vettel is getting owned by his rookie teammate now that he doesn't have the fastest car on the grid.
