Ricciardo: We have caught Ferrari
Daniel Ricciardo has jubilantly claimed that Red Bull have finally got on terms with Ferrari’s engine power following a series of improvements by Renault.
Ferrari’s engine has gradually caught up with the all-dominant Mercedes, but they have now been caught by Renault – who were the root of all Red Bull’s problems.
But the team are consistently fighting for race wins and podiums, which has led Ricciardo to vow they are here to stay at the front of the grid.
"At the start of the year we went into Melbourne not really expecting much compared to the end of last year," said Ricciardo.
"But we came in with more horsepower, and then the update helped, and we've found a little bit more and a little bit more since then.
"It's been a nice refreshing improvement on both sides - the chassis is working well with the power unit.
"We're now pretty much on par with the '16 Ferrari [engine], and that's positive. They made a really big step last year.”
