One piece of advice? Don't expect too many Christmas cards from Helmut Marko.

If they're not using Mark Webber's old wheel nuts on Ricciardo's car, then Helmut got them from a Christmas cracker.

But I heard recently, was it from JA, that Marko should be behind Ricciardo as he's come up through the Red Bull nursery ranks.

Apparently DR doesn't need any advice, least of all from some keyboard warriors. wink

His team mate may have scupper end his chances of a podium this time, but if things within RB stay as they are then he will have a podium that no one can take from him soon...

Funnily enough I was thinking of this thread during the GP.

Was going to update my advice to "Just do it".

Don't expect any luck originating from your team mate - it'll just be tough.

I don't have access to Sky. Was Horner telling him not to go for the fastest lap at the end?

I'd suggest that nobody here could offer someone who can do this:

"Ricciardo, desperate still to have rubber left at the end, duly posted the following sequence:
1min 53.4sec, 53.4sec, 53.4sec, 53.2sec, 53.4sec 53.2sec, 53.2sec, 53.5sec, 53.5sec, 53.5sec."

... any advice.

Somebody has checked him for a pulse, haven't they - he's getting too good to be true.

Nice bloke, great driver, stuffing old Fingers all ends up.

One thought I had after reading that Hughes write up on Spa was when he does spoil it, I was thinking of Nico getting booed at Spa or Vettel doing the chop on Button, was it at Melbourne? It would be good if the copybook could stay unblotted.

Is it me, but I'm backing DR for the WDC. Only 64 points behind, the next few races favouring the Red Bull car, the 2 Merc drivers scrapping between them, and 50 points for the last race (which also favours the Red Bull).

Red Bull are shortening the gap to the Mercs every week and I reckon by the final few races will be on par. GO ON DANIEL!!

3 peices of advice, rather than one :

Tell Nico thet Lewis is a big softy who will concede the next corner.

If you're been sarcastic (which I guess you are) I'd say the RBR is well set up for low downforce circuits (look at Spa!) and I think Monza is even more? So it's not all about the engine ya know smile

Don't get carried away, Monza is a very different circuit to Spa and the other teams will come with lower downforce setups. Red Bull will find themselves scrapping with Force India, Ferrari and McLaren behind Mercedes and Williams.
