In the opening stages of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Red Bull's hopes were pinned on a charging Max Verstappen while damage limitation was in order for Daniel Ricciardo.
The Dutchman's run of bad luck continued unfortunately as he was forced to retire when his engine expired on lap 12, his fourth DNF in six races.
The 19-year-old is growing impatient and desperately wants to secure a race win sooner rather than later. An achievement which Christian Horner believes is in the cards.
"He's had great pace here all weekend," Horner said of Verstappen in Baku.
"Obviously, he's going to be feeling pretty down but he's been might all weekend. He's been hugely competitive and an engine failure has nothing to do with him.
"I get the feeling there's a really big result just around the corner for him, and then he'll probably put a run of results together.
"He's driving so well at the moment, it won't be long before we see Max putting in abig performance like Daniel has today."
