Daniel Ricciardo says there are no big secrets around Red Bull Racing's performance, with the Aussie insisting the team was not holding itself back.
Ricciardo finished his day of work after clocking 89 laps and setting the second fastest time, just e few tenths off Williams' Felipe Massa's top time.
"At the moment there is no big secret or anything," said the red Bull driver.
"We are not holding 2 seconds in our pocket, but we definitely feel that we can still get more out of the car. But I think probably everyone can.
"Hopefully not Williams, hopefully that was their best today. Ferrari and Mercedes can probably still get more out of theirs.
"So once that all happens we will see. It is looking alright. It is now my third day in the car, and I would say day 1 to day 2, and then day 2 to day 3 I am getting happier with the car."
The 'Honeybadger' admitted to be keeping a watchful eye on Ferrari, with the Scuderia's performance to date impressing Ricciardo.
"They certainly look quick. I am sure Mercedes will still be very quick. But Ferrari are looking good. Even though Williams did not run much last week, the day they did get a good run in, I actually thought they looked quite good as well.
"So today they showed that. It is going to be interesting, Melbourne will be a nice little story."
