However the main problem in Sepang Red Bull on a track with sharp deceleration as the Malaysian, was not optimal operation of the new braking system (which would no longer Brembo, but Hitcho or, according to other sources, Carbon Industries) which penalized especially the Australian. In China, however, beyond the longest straight of the world, will be less stress for tablets, and may be expected a better performance of the bulls Austrians.

Ricciardo knows to redeem a colorless performance in Shanghai, and is convinced that with the tires we will use in China can do it, today much more than in the past: "The tires are quite modern extreme but rather than a few years ago, which served three laps to go in temperature. With these instead in lap must walk the straight line at a speed that even my grandmother in order to save the tire and not finish it before you start the lap. "

Franz Tost, the principal of the Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso Formula 1 team, was asked to rank the best drivers he has mentored in Formula 1 and his list suggests Ricciardo needs to watch his back.

Tost, who has been team supremo at the Red Bull development team since 2006 after six years at Williams, says Ricciardo is just the fifth best driver he has worked with in Formula 1.

While Ricciardo stunned the sport last year to finish third in the championship behind dominant Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, the 26-year-old is far from the most talented star in the Red Bull squad, according to Tost.

The Austrian official says current Toro Rosso drivers Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen are better drivers than Ricciardo.

To add insult to injury, Tost says Sebastian Vettel is the best driver he has ever worked with.

He says Vettel’s first grand prix for the team in 2008 is what first brought the team together.

“Not for nothing is he four times world champion,” Tost told f1-insider.com.

Tost says he has a lot of admiration for Ricciardo, but still considers Vettel, Sainz, Verstappen and Red Bull teammate Daniil Kvyat better.

“He’s incredibly sensitive when it comes to the car,” Tost said of Ricciardo.

“He is technically the most experienced driver, with whom I have ever worked with. He can suit every car perfectly to his riding style.”

The biggest concern for Ricciardo is that Tost considers Kvyat the second best driver he has ever worked with after the Russian rising star finished second, ahead of Ricciardo, at the Hungarian Grand Prix last month.

“He has a sensational car control and is just [like] Vettel — extremely focused with great assertiveness,” Tost said of Kvyat.

“He comes from Russia, not just a motorsport stronghold. As a child he moved to Italy alone. That makes what he has done so far, even more valuable.”

Of Verstappen, Tost said: “At 17, he already has a sensational overview and an amazing maturity.

“He has an insane speed and great understanding of technology — especially when it comes to tyres. That fascinated me already in his first test.”

Of Sainz, he said: “He is also technically well-versed and an extremely hard worker.

“It is also striking how he is focused and how fast he can learn. His good results are the sum of all these properties.”

Meanwhile, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has declared Ricciardo and Kvyat are the best partnership the team has ever had.

He says the two are very evenly matched on and off the track, but are able to focus on improving the team’s performance — unlike former driving partnerships like Vettel and Aussie driver Mark Webber.

“The drivers are very straightforward,” Horner told f1-insider.com.

“The relationships we have with our drivers are very straightforward, the way they are working together as a team is the best we’ve ever had. Feedback is exceptional and I’m very, very happy with the current driver pairing that we have.”

Horner also reiterated Ricciardo won’t leave the team at the end of the season, despite reports linking him with a move to Ferrari.

"It’s in our DNA, we’ve done it before,” said Marchionne. “I think we can provide engines to any of the teams that want to race. As long as we keep control over the aerodynamic work on the car, I think there’s going to be enough distinguishing traits between us and the competition. We are more than glad to try and provide a level playing field, now that the engine is there.

“I talk to everybody. And I have a lot of respect for Red Bull. I think they’ve done a lot for the sport, they’ve had the world championship for a number of years. I think they will find their way again and if we can help them get there, we’d be more than glad to do it.”

The Austrian head of Motorsports at Mercedes also revealed these engine supply discussions were for 2016 aggregates. Manor this year have been using 2014 PU’s so a deal with Mercedes will see them using the latest engine technology in 2016.

Beside the obvious new rival, Red Bull has another problem in their hunt for a new relatively loud bit – to nail into the back of their cars. They have a contract with Infinity as their title sponsor for 2016 and the luxury brand of Nissan is a direct competitor of Mercedes in the consumer market.

Infiniti are not so much a competitor of Ferrari and Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne has already confirmed earlier in the season that the Italian manufacturer would talk “to everyone with a serious intent.”
