Red Bull’s frontman, Daniel Ricciardo insists he isn’t being ‘naive’ ahead of lights in Melbourne.

After experiencing two completely different years driving for the Milton Keynes based team, now branded Red Bull Racing TAG Heuer, Ricciardo says that he’s now a “pretty complete driver”.

In 2014 Ricciardo outperformed his team-mate Sebastian Vettel, and the rest of the field to be the only non-Mercedes driver to claim victory that year. They were his first three (and only wins to date) in Formula 1.

Last year was a difficult year for the once giants of the sport, and despite a relatively strong aerodynamic and average chassis performance, Red Bull only managed three podiums throughout 2015. Team Principal Christian Horner pointed the finger of blame at counterpart Renault, who provided a more than unreliable power-unit and kept the Aussie of Ricciardo from battling up front.

“In 2014, I was grateful for the podiums and wins I had, and after having some tough races last year, I appreciate the good moments even more.” Ricciardo said.

“I’ve experienced most things now and it’s made me appreciate things.

“I’m not looking that far forward yet,” he continued “I don’t tend to look too far ahead anyway as a lot of things can happen.

“For now it’s just about this year. My two years with Red Bull have been pretty different. I’ve had highs and lows, we’ve gone through quite a bit together and now we have some good stability.

“I’ve got the same engineers and I think this year can be a very good one for us so I’m excited.

“I see myself as a pretty complete driver now, I don’t want to be naive and I can always learn and keep evolving.”

Ricciardo will be back in the car this Wednesday and Friday, for the final pre-season test in Barcelona.
