Dan Ticktum felt a "massive responsibility" testing for Red Bull

Daniel Ticktum tested for Red Bull earlier this week and has said that he felt a "massive responsibility" driving for such a big team. The Red Bull junior hopes that he impressed the team enough to get called up for the Barcelona testing later on in the season. He drove 134 laps in the car and has said there was a lot of pressure for him to do well. 

"It's different, definitely," he said to Autosport. "It's just a massive responsibility. You've got a lot on your shoulders, it's important to do well not just for yourself but your engineers and all your mechanics and everyone.

"It's a lot of pressure, but I think I prepared myself quite well for it."

When asked if he has done enough to get called up for the Barcelona testing Ticktum said, "We'll have to see.  

"I'll just keep trying to do as I'm told and do a good job and here and there and hopefully I'll get more opportunities like this. Hopefully I did a good enough job today to get the go-ahead for that, but it's not confirmed at the moment.

"We got some really good data for the team today which is obviously the most important part of these days," he said.
