Red Bull boss Christian Horner is excited to see Daniel Ricciardo take the fight to Ferrari at the Bahrain Grand Prix, a circuit with more opportunities for overtaking than the season opener in Australia.
Despite showing good race pace at his home race and setting the fastest lap, Ricciardo was unable to pass Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen for the final spot on the podium. Ricciardo qualified fourth in Bahrain, putting him behind Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas and the all-Ferrari front row led by Sebastian Vettel.
While Red Bull is still unable to match Ferrari and Mercedes on one-lap pace Horner expects Bahrain to show its true race pace.
