Daniel Ricciardo wants podiums in 2013

Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo have sufficiently convinced the leaders of Red Bull to keep their steering wheel within Toro Rosso. If the two drivers of the Italian team were often behind, the performances of the STR7 were not unrelated and the second team of the Taureau Rouge is banking heavily on the new STR8 for the 2013 season. Toro Rosso only finished 'in ninth place in the Manufacturers' Championship after being ahead of Williams in 2011. The Australian who started in 2011 at HRT F1 Team hopes to have the mount capable of allowing it to fight more often for points and to distinguish itself, even hoping for an exploit when the conditions are profitable.

Daniel Ricciardo relies on the performances achieved by Sebastian Vettel when the German played with Toro Rosso. The three-time world champion won his first victory there at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, offering the only success to the Faenza team. “I think our goal should be to become the best team behind the big fight”, commented Daniel Ricciardo on Crash.net. “We should fight and beat Williams, Force India and Sauber. For me, the goal will be to be regularly in the points and achieve several podiums. It's obviously not easy, but maybe with the rain victory is not impossible with Toro Rosso. Vettel's victory is a motivation for us, it proves to us that it is possible. »
