Ricciardo: Red Bull should get off to a good start

Daniel Ricciardo has had a hard time standing out this season with the Red Bull RB11. Without any victory to his credit, the former challenger of Mercedes even finished behind his teammate Daniil Kvyat with three points behind. The supremacy of the W06 Hybrid and the return to the forefront of the Team Ferrari put the brakes on the ambitions of the team Milton Keynes.

“They are too far away” admitted the Australian during the Perth Speed ​​Fest event held this weekend on his land where he is doing a roadshow with the RB7. “They increased their lead this season and Ferrari managed to come back a little on them. But (Mercedes) can really speed things up when it wants to. They will remain the team to beat next year and it will be hard to do so. Hopefully it doesn't last too long. »

The renewal of the partnership with Renault, with a rebadged Tag Heuer Power Unit, should bring stability to Red Bull Racing that will allow it to close the gap on its rivals. “It should go better after the 2015 season which did not meet our expectations. We should be off to a good start in 2016. I hate the word “goals,” but I think mine were a little too high for this year. I will see this reduced during the next season”, hoped the Australian.
