Ricciardo: Vettel must follow instructions

In an interview with The West Australian, Daniel Ricciardo returned to the racing events that occurred during the last two Grands Prix with his teammate Sebastian Vettel. The four-time champion had to give up again in China against the Australian even though the latter was following the same strategy. “Before the race we plan different scenarios and we discuss them with the engineers but also between drivers. It is our responsibility to obey unless we still have a chance to stay in the fight. It's never pleasant when we're told to push ourselves when we're slower, it's even frustrating. »

At the end of the first Grands Prix, Daniel Ricciardo surpassed the four-time German world champion three times in the qualifying exercise. But in the Championship, Sebastian Vettel maintains the advantage with nine points ahead of his teammate who was disqualified in Melbourne where he scored his first podium at home. “I want to face Sebastian at his best. We respect each other, regardless of who did the best job. I won't be happy if Seb is better than me, but I will respect him and congratulate him. »

The pilots Red Bull will be able to fight on track again this weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel will have a new chassis on his RB10.
