RB F1 driver168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Daniel Ricciardo sees Red Bull and Ferrari as the “strong favourites to be on the💫 podium” at the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend. 

The 2024 F1 season officially kicks off on Saturday aܫt the Bahrain International Circuit.

F1 teams were in action for t♏hree days of testing last week, with a rough pecking order eme🐭rging.

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

Giving his perspective on the pecking ord🉐er, 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 certainly seem like they’re pretty good🔴 at the moment.”

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

Alpine appear to have taken a si🌊gnificant step back, while under the AlphaTau🧜ri guise, they tended to have more pace than Williams, Sauber and Haas anyway.

Ahead of the season, Ricciardo set out big aims for the team, even sug𓆉gested podiums were possible.

However,🍃 it seems the eight-time grand prix winner has poured cold water on that prospec🍌t, for now at least.

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

“I know people🍨 are getting pretty excited about us, but I’m trying to just bring it back down.

“I 🎀think we’re probably 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.”
