Daniel Ricciardo says hes confused as to why world champion Lewis Hamilton was not handed a penalty after cutting the first corner on the opening lap of the Mexican Grand Prix.The pole sitter -- who claimed his 51st career win at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to tie Alain Prost in second place on the all-time wins list -- locked up into Turn 1 and failed to re-join the track until Turn 3, which allowed him to maintain his lead. Ricciardo couldnt understand how he avoided a sanction, particularly when teammate Max Verstappen was handed a five-second penalty for what he believed to be an identical manoeuvre late in the race.I didnt understand the start, Ricciardo said. How you can be leading the race, defend, lock your wheels and go off-track and still stay in the lead. I think Lewis deserved a penalty.I saw Max cut the chicane trying to defend Seb, he got a penalty, so I dont know what was different with his move and Lewis. For me, if you lock up and cut the corner, its a mistake and you have to pay the price.Ricciardo was also left with a sour taste in his mouth after a late scrap with former teammate Sebastian Vettel. After pitting with 20 laps remaining for the soft tyre, Ricciardo had a significant pace advantage which saw him catch third placed Max Verstappen and Vettel by the penultimate lap.But when attempting a pass on the incensed Vettel, Ricciardo believes he was squeezed which forced them both of the track.Dont get me wrong, I love racing, I love racing hard, locking brakes and a bit of contact is fine but this whole moving under braking, like if you are going to defend, commit early. You dont do it more than once when youve been out-foxed, he said.I felt like thats what I did today, he moved, I went, I won the chess match if you like and he was like Oh Ive screwed up, I better repair my mistake, so for me thats not right. I would love to be up there [on the podium] but it was still a fun race.Despite the frustration, Ricciardo has all but sewn up third place in the drivers championship, with Vettel needing wins in Brazil and Abu Dhabi to have any chance of displacing him.The incident between Vettel and Ricciardo was under investigation at time of publication.?
