RB F1 driver168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Daniel Ricciardo sees Red Bull and Ferrari as the “strong favourites to be on t♍he podium” at the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend. 

The 2024 F1 season officially ki🐼cks off on Saturday at the▨ Bahrain International Circuit.

F1 teams were in action for thr🥂ee🐟 days of testing last week, with a rough pecking order emerging.

The general consensus, for Bahrain at least, is that Red Bull are likely to be F1’s dominant force, while Ferrari are in a good ꧙position to challenge.

Giving his perspective on the pecking order, Ricciardo said: “I think from what me kind of being a viewer [can see],🎉 it looks like Red Bull and Ferrari would be 🐼the strong favourites to be on the podium here in a week.

“Anything can happen, but I think they certain🐽ly seem like they’re pretty good at the moment.”

Ricciardo’s own team - RB - is widely regarded to be the sixth-ꦡbest team going into Bahrain.

Alpine appear🧸 to have taken a significant step back, while under the AlphaTauri guise, they tended to have more pace than Williams, Sauber and ꩲHaas anyway.

A🐷head of the season, Ricciardo set out big aims for the team, even suggested podiums were possible.

Howeve𝐆r, it seems the eight-time grand prix winner has pour🉐ed cold water on that prospect, for now at least.

“Then after that, it’s yeah, probably pretty cloౠse, but I would say we♕’re still in that midfield fight,” Ricciardo continued.

“I know pཧeople are getting pretty excited about us, but I’m trying to ju🐷st bring it back down.

“I think we’re probabꦉly where we expected to be. Obviously we do want to get stronger as the year goes on and establish ourselves at the front of the midfield, but I think now we’ll be hopefully a Q3 and top 10 car, but to be much more than that, I think that’s probably getting too excited.”
