Although Ferrari appear to have a strong car in Canada, Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo believes that with some choice tweaks to the RB12 his team can get the better of the Maranello squad in Canada.
“I don’t think we quite got everything out of it. I think if we put the right work in we can be close to Ferrari, or ahead of them,” the Australian told media at the end of the first practice day in Montreal.
“Mercedes had a good buffer on us, but I feel like we’ve got a lot to come from a lot of areas. If we’re within half a second tomorrow that would be good, and we’ll see what happens in the race.”
Monaco and Spain obviously still weigh on Ricciardo’s mind, as he quipped mischievously, “I had a good knock of the wall on probably my third or fourth lap =, so I was still probably letting off some steam.”
And added, “I’ve always enjoyed driving around here, pushing the limits and jumping over the kerbs.”
A day earlier Ricciardo, who is apparently at the top of the Ferrari driver shopping list, signaled his intent, “To be honest, the only interest I have is in a world title.”
“If Red Bull said: We can’t give you that for the next few years, then the only other place I would want to go is somewhere that could say: Yeah, you can fight for a world title with us.”
“That’s all I want to fight for and I’m not interested in being with someone for an image – it’s results,” declared Ricciardo who scored his first win at the Canadian Grand Prix in 2014 with Red Bull.
