"To score six points, considering where I was on the grid after a disastrous day on Saturday is a good recovery".
Lewis Hamilton believes Sebastian Vettel's victory at the Monaco Grand Prix has provided the clearest indicator yet that his championship rival is being afforded preferential treatment by Ferrari.
While the four-time champion German joyously celebrated the 45th win of his career - and Ferrari's first in Monte Carlo for 16 years - in a torrent of joyous words, the taciturn Finn fended off questions about the use of team orders.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff also played down any talks of Ferrari favouring Vettel over Raikkonen and instead admitted that they were the quicker cars and congratulated them on their one-two finish at Monaco.
Indeed his victory in Spain earlier this month has been sandwiched by a distant fourth-place finish in Russian Federation and now seventh in Monte Carlo, too. The tyres started to slide in the first stint and the pack were catching up a bit but then I had a second attempt and had a couple of laps where the vehicle was really good.
"First of all they deserved to be there, they had the quickest auto out there". The German wants the title back in his possession and he is showing an enormous will for that in these first 6 races.
He added: "The Ferrari seems to work everywhere so these next 14 races are going to be very hard".
"After that I was able to control the gap".
"The safety auto almost ruined my race", said Ricciardo.

"We have been dropping in and out of the "tyre window" and never had two cars within that window over the course of whole weekend".
"Nothing to say really".
"Obviously it's still second place but it doesn't feel awfully good" Raikkonen said. But it is how it goes sometimes: we go to the next race and try to do better.
"Something we've been waiting for a long time has finally come to pass, a race which will be part of our history", Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said.
Ricciardo was shining on the press conference.
"We've definitely got to improve the understanding of the vehicle we have and see if we can do a better job", he added. I was surprised myself.
"Yeh didn't enjoy the clip of the barrier". But for sure I take it. "When you get safety auto, these tires are like driving on ice".
"The stony demeanour said it all for Kimi Raikkonen by the close of the Monaco Grand Prix and, while the Iceman is renowned for giving nothing away in public, that he was not happy at how his race had panned out was clear", Giles Richards wrote in The Guardian.
