HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- Daniel Ricciardo admits Red Bull needs strong results at the two races before the summer break if it wants to stay in contention with Mercedes and Ferrari in the 2018 title race.
After claiming his second win of the season at the Monaco Grand Prix Ricciardo endured a difficult time during F1's historic triple header, collecting just 22 points. That's seen him slip 65 points behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel.
Although Ricciardo is facing the prospect of engine-related penalties this weekend at the German Grand Prix, next weekend's race in Hungary promises to be one of the team's strongest of the season.
