Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo did a good job in the all important qualifying hour in Austria on Saturday afternoon when his first timed lap out of the pits saw him put the RB13 into fifth place, which turned into fourth due to Lewis Hamilton's gearbox penalty.
This sets the Baku GP winner up for an exciting race on Sunday with potentially a bit of weather around tomorrow. Looking at the grid the team hope to have a part to play in the result in front of their home crowd in Austria.
"It's a bit tricky out there,” Daniel said afterwards. “This year the track has a lot of grip on it and that kind of makes it harder. You feel you can push more but it's easy to go over the limit, because we carry so much corner speed.”
“We all obviously love going fast and want more and more, so we end up getting greedy and then mistakes happen, but that makes it exciting. Of course it would have been nice to finish that last lap but in the end I'm happy with the top five and we'll move up to fourth because of Lewis' penalty.”
"All in all it was a pretty good session and I'm relatively happy. I believe there is a bit of rain coming tomorrow at noon so it should be interesting and not that straight forward. Lewis will try to come up the ranks as well so it will be exciting."
