Ricciardo: “I believed in the podium”

He would have liked the podium and instead the wooden medal arrived. Daniel Ricciardo he can still leave his Australia with his usual smile considering the bad luck that hit the other side of the garage Red Bull with Kvyat in trouble since qualifying and practically didn't make it to the race.

“I really enjoyed myself today! – the comment of the driver from Perth, 4th and author of the fastest lap in 1'28″997 – At the start I managed to overtake several opponents and even with the medium and high fuel load the pace proved to be good. I was hoping to be able to manage myself better at the end and keep on the podium but instead I was forced to return. Overall I'm happy. The gap from Mercedes and Ferrari isn't that wide."

“Unfortunately, an electrical fault prevented me from leaving. Basically when I was on the grid everything shut down, so it's clear that my RB12 didn't want to race! – the declaration of Daniil – It's already the second time it's happened to me on this track, however in Bahrain I'll come back stronger”.
