Daniel Ricciardo: I won't have many friends left after Hungarian GP

HUNGARORING -- After having to settle for an underwhelming sixth on the grid in Hungary, Daniel Ricciardo is ready to get his elbows out and attack from the start of Sunday's race.

Red Bull had been tipped by many as an outsider for pole in Budapest due to the tight and twisty nature of the circuit. Ricciardo, who claimed his second career win at the Hungaroring in 2014, topped both Friday practice sessions but saw his and Red Bull's advantage disappear on Saturday as Ferrari and Mercedes stepped up.

"It seemed like this morning there was a lot less front grip and a lot more rear grip, so we had a lot of understeer," Ricciardo said.
