Ricciardo: Pressure can mount with Verstappen

Third in the last world championship, Daniel Ricciardo faced the arrival this year at Red Bull Racing from Dutch Max Verstappen. Winner for his first race in Spain, the former resident of the European Championship F3 quickly made his place within the Milton Keynes team, to the point of taking the lead in terms of results over his teammate.

For the coming season, Daniel Ricciardo remains aware of possible changes in the internal atmosphere. “I’m not naive. If we fight for victories, I'm sure the pressure and tension will increase, specifies the Australian. But we hope we can look each other in the eye and say “good job.” »

Ricciardo also says he is confident in Red Bull Racing's ability to produce a car competitive, with regard to the new technical regulations, which could favor the chassis part, the strong point of the red bull team's creations.

“I honestly think the settlement is a good thing for us. There seems to be more emphasis on aerodynamics and I have a lot of faith in our aerodynamics department. This is one of our strong points. So, I don't think it can harm us. »
