Daniel Ricciardo received a three-place grid penalty for passing Nico Hulkenberg under the safety car during the Chinese Grand Prix, which will be applied in the next race in Miami. The penalty was justified by the stewards as Ricciardo overtook Hulkenberg under safety car conditions without sufficient cause. Ricciardo admitted to deliberately overtaking Hulkenberg, believing he could do so because Hulkenberg had overtaken him earlier under similar circumstances. Despite the inability to serve the penalty due to retirement, the penalty will apply to the next race Ricciardo participates in, likely affecting his starting position in the Sprint event at Miami. This incident underscores the importance of adhering to the rules and regulations in Formula 1 racing to ensure fair competition.
