Ricciardo to get pre-race 'talking to'?

NEWS STORY
13/05/2018

Remember when your Mum was popping out and leaving you alone for a short while? Remember that stern talking to – complete with finger-wagging - you received; the one that went 'don't touch this' and 'don't do that' because she'd know, and 'woe betide you' if you disobeyed?

Well, Daniel Ricciardo is expecting a similar missive from his boss Christian Horner this afternoon.

Following their clash in Baku, the two Red Bull chargers must be on their very best behaviour, and though expected to battle the Mercedes and Ferraris, and even one another, there is to be no silliness... or else.

"For sure, I expect Christian to definitely have a word with us before the race," admits the Australian. "For the next few races, until things calm down and he sees proof that things have calmed down, he will definitely talk to us.

"We are in a difficult position because we want to not only beat each other but try and attack Kimi, who starts in front of us.

"Look," he insisted, "we've attacked before and kept it clean, so we just need to do that."

Of course, talking of Raikkonen, Max Verstappen will have memories of last year's race when he was involved in a three-way clash with the Finn and countryman Valtteri Bottas at the first corner, the Ferrari out on the spot and the Red Bull only making it as far as the pits… and all in front of a whole grandstand of fanatical Dutchies.
