A drain cover famously destroyed Ricciardo's car a few years ago. Not sure what they did back then

Drain cover incidents are nothing new (sadly) but history seems to fall to two categories: incidents with not as much damaged and requiring no restricted parts, or ones that happened during the race with no opportunities for repair anyway.
