Daniel Ricciardo believes Red Bull will be much closer to winning this weekend than they were in Australia.
Ricciardo finished 4th in his home Grand Prix despite receiving a grid penalty.
Reviewing his performance two weeks ago, Daniel said: "In clear air, we were actually very, very strong.
"I wasn't nursing the tyres and then a few laps before the end I did two easy laps to create some space and then I pushed that lap,”
Ricciardo went on to show his confidence in the car.

"If we have the same car on Sunday that we had in Melbourne on Sunday, I think we'll be very close."
