Daniel Ricciardo was visibly upset after qualifying sixth for the Singapore Grand Prix and was lost for words when asked to explain what had gone wrong.

The Australian couldn't figure out what had caused his lack of performance after being fastest in both first practice on Friday and the first qualifying session, only to see his victory hopes virtually gone in 60 minutes.

“It fell away in the space of an hour and we don’t know why. I’m a little bit emotional,” said Ricciardo.

“I want to figure out and understand why we lost out so much. Right now I honestly don’t have an answer."

Can he turn his fortunes around?
