Daniel Ricciardo made no secret of his frustration after seeing a stunning early rise through the field go to waste when he was forced to retire from the Mexican🦂 Grand Prix due to a power ꧃unit failure on his Red Bull Formula 1 car.

Ricciardo started the race from 16th after taking a grid penalty for taking three new power unit elements ahead of the race, with the fresh parts being fitted after q▨ualifying to help him get to the end of the season with no further drops.

Ricciardo charged from P16 to run as high as eighth in the opening sta💃ges in Mexico, only to be forced to parജk his car up in the garage after just five laps due to a suspected turbocharger issue.

"I'm obviously frustrated. The 🌄first few laps were pretty good, we got up inside the top eight I think, maybe even seventh," Ricciardo said.

"I could hear the turbo started to sound funny, and then it just had no power left. I was able to limp it back to the p🍷its, but that was ꦿit. It seems like probably a turbo failure at this stage.

"It's a shame. We put the new oneꦫ in thinking that would be a bit more durable, but yeah..."

While Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen was able to charge to victo♈ry at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, four of the six Renault-powered cars in the race retired with issues as the high altitude nature of theಞ circuit caused problems.

"It was always going to be tough here coming this weekend, but why more tough this year than last yea༺r, I have no idea," Ricciaꦯrdo said.

"We c🍃▨ertainly struggled to keep everything in check. The weekend was looking good on Friday and turned pretty bad. 

"I still d🏅on't know how I can sm💃ile.  I'm certainly hurting inside. It's one of those ones I guess.

"Hopefully i🌊t doesn't hurt us in Brazil now. We'll see."
