Daniel Ricciardo has expressed his delight after securing a thrilling win at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Starting from fourth place on the grid, the Red Bull driver struggled early on before coming through the field to pick up his second victory of the campaign.

Fernando Alonso of Ferrari ended the race as runner-up, while Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton finished in third position.

"It feels as good as the first win, it really does. The safety car at first played to our advantage but the second one didn't really help us, but we got there in the end and I had to do the overtaking at the end which was fun," Ricciardo is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"I am definitely going to celebrate tonight, party for a few days and enjoy a few days off. Then I will continue with the second half of the season and I can't wait for Spa but I want to thank the team for everything they have done to help me win my first races."

The Formula 1 season continues on August 24 with the Belgian Grand Prix.
