Daniel Ricciardo thinks he has competitive edge over Jean-Eric Vergne – Formula 1 news
Toro Rosso driver Daniel Ricciardo thinks he has a competitive edge over his teammate, Jean-Eric Vergne since this year’s summer break.
Ricciardo said that he has considerably improved his qualifying pace and has performed quite convincingly in the last few races. Moreover, he said that he has learned a lot from his mistakes in the season so far which has really helped him in getting back
in action.
Besides, after securing tenth place finish in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, he believes that he has an advantage over Vergne in his team.
“I think definitely the Saturdays have been my stronger point,” Ricciardo said. “I think in terms of Sundays I gave a few away earlier in the year, I made a few little mistakes and it took me a little bit of time to get what I wanted out of a Sunday. But
I think definitely now since the Summer break it's been more in my favour.”
In addition, he said that he has remained positive despite facing difficulties during the opening few races and has tried his best to keep on making the significant improvements in his pace so as to secure good results for his team.
“It's been positive from my side, I think the progression has been positive; the Saturdays have remained strong yet the Sundays have improved, which were my weaker point at the beginning of the year,” he added.
Furthermore, he said that he is looking forward to deliver his best in the remaining two races of the ongoing season.
Even though, both the drivers have secured their race seats in their team for the coming year. However, the better one may get a chance to drive Red Bull in the future.
Red Bull Racing team principal, Christian Horner has said that they are keeping an eye on the performance of Ricciardo and Vergne to assess that who has the potential to secure a race seat in their team.
It will be very interesting to see how the drivers of the Faenza based team perform in the remaining two grands prix of the current season.
