"Positions Mercedes immutable, to compete with them right now does not make sense, but we may well challenge Ferrari. In Shanghai, both of our pilots were able to get ahead of Raikkonen, and Vettel looked not so much. And nebylo at Riccardo puncture, he would have fought for a place on the podium. The whole team is happy with the outcome of the Grand Prix, "- said Horner.

Recall that in Shanghai Daniel Riccardo finished second in qualifying and at the start of the race was headed, but because of the puncture became only the fourth.

"Most likely, Riccardo ran over debris on the track. He fell back to fifth position 18, but eventually slipped to 4th place, on the way beating among others Raikkonen and Hamilton ".

In the standings after three rounds of the season, Daniel Riccardo is the third, Daniel Kvyat - seventh. In the Constructors' Championship Red Bull Ferrari gives four points.
