DANIEL Ricciardo says he feels like his new machine is starting to “come alive”, but is confident there is still more improvement ahead of the first race at the Australian Grand Prix this month.
Two weeks ahead of the season-opening Formula One race at Albert Park, Ricciardo was buoyed by an encouraging day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya this morning (Australian time) when he finished with the second-fastest time for the day behind Williams veteran Felipe Massa.
