Infiniti Red Bull Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo is hoping for a return to form for the next race, the British Grand Prix, next weekend in Silverstone. The team had a difficult race at their home event, the Austrian Grand Prix last time out at the Red Bull Ring which saw reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel qualify down in 12th and retire on lap 35.

Ricciardo started the Asutrian Grand Prix from 5th place but finished in 8th. The Australian is hoping that he secure a top three finish at the teams second home Grand in Silverstone next weekend, in an interview with the Red Bull website Ricciardo said:

'I'm always optimistic going to Silverstone because I love the circuit but yes, it should be a circuit that suits us a little bit more, We've got to learn a few things about our performance here but once we do that, I think we'll be fighting in the top five and trying to get on the podium.'

Ricciardo went on to say:

'We've got to learn a few things about our performance here but once we do that, I think we'll be fighting in the top five and trying to get on the podium.'

Red Bull are currently second in the Constructors championship on 143 point's.
