Vettel sees encouraging signs at Red Bull

Red Bull Racing was not successful since Sebastian Vettel retired in the first laps in Melbourne while Daniel Ricciardo was excluded from the race after the finish (provisional decision with the team's appeal).

I hope we can continue like this and score many points in the next two races. »

We will then go to Bahrain where we recently carried out winter testing. We will still be used to it and it will be nice to have dry weather after Malaysia.
