Daniel Ricciardo has been relegated to 11th position in the wake of receiving two post-race time penalties for the last-lap incidents at the French Grand Prix.

Ricciardo was closing on the ailing Lando Norris for seventh position but went wide at the chicane and fell behind Kimi Raikkonen.

Ricciardo then ducked to the inside of the circuit – putting all four wheels off the track – in his successful bid to overtake Raikkonen for seventh.

“The Stewards reviewed video evidence and on-board video from multiple cars, heard from the driver of car 3 (Daniel Ricciardo), the driver of car 4 (Lando Norris), the driver of car 7 (Kimi Raikkonen) and team representatives,” read the report.

“Ricciardo started to pass Norris on the outside at Turn 8. At the exit of the corner he distinctly left the track and the Stewards determined that he re-joined at an angle that forced Norris off the track to avoid the collision.

“The Stewards accepted Ricciardo’s explanation that when he was re-joining the track, he had slowed considerably, going down extra gears and locking up the front left tyre. He also stated that the rumble strips in the turn made the car more difficult to control.

“However, the Stewards considered that the sequence of events constituted re-joining the track unsafely, and he subsequently took the position from Norris.

“Following the incident at Turn 8 with Norris, Raikkonen managed to pass both Norris and Ricciardo.

“Ricciardo, who by then had regained control of his car then chased Raikkonen from Turn 9 and subsequently passed Raikkonen. Raikkonen defended his position on the straight moving slightly to the right.

“However, Raikkonen never put any part of his car off the track and he did not make any move to the right while any part of Ricciardo’s car was alongside, and did not crowd Ricciardo off the track.

“To make the pass Ricciardo drove off track and then subsequently completed the pass, gaining a lasting advantage.

“The Stewards reviewed the case to see if it was a continuation of the previous incident. However, Ricciardo clearly had regained control of the car following his incident with Norris and the pass off track was a separate incident.”

As a consequence Raikkonen moves up to seventh, Nico Hulkenberg eighth, Norris ninth, and Pierre Gasly takes the final point.

Ricciardo took to Twitter after the decision, commenting: "I am a threat of a twitter rant. But I’ll save it. Hope everyone was entertained."
