Daniel Ricciardo has praised new team-mate Max Verstappen, and says their relationship is positive as they gear up for the Austrian Grand Prix next weekend.

Verstappen replaced the underwhelming Daniil Kvyat, and won his first Red Bull race in Spain.

The Dutchman has clearly benefited the team, and Ricciardo insists they are pushing the team in the right direction.

"With Max now it's been really cool," he said.

"We are pushing each other and the team sees that and they are excited about the line-up we have.

"We are all super-competitive but it's pushing the team in a good direction, and a strong direction.

"In my mind it's pushing us towards a championship car in 2017 and I hope that's what we can get for the next step.

"The chassis, we can lean on it and you can feel it work and that's good.

"You get that confidence back in the car; you get the confidence like in Monaco to show it."
