Red Bull: We’ll be much stronger in race trim

Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are confident that their uniquely set-up cars will be much more competitive in Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix than they proved in qualifying.

Red Bull decided to split strategies for their two drivers ahead of Saturday afternoon’s session, trimming downforce from Ricciardo’s RB13 but leaving Verstappen’s Malaysia race-winning car with more wing.

Ricciardo got the better of two in qualifying, beating his team mate to fourth place [which will become P3 once Valtteri Bottas’s grid penalty is applied] by less than a tenth of a second.

The Australian felt that was the maximum he could extract in qualifying, but thinks he’s well set up to challenge in the race.
