Daniel Ricciardo: Wrong to expect miracles from Red Bull upgrade

Daniel Ricciardo says it is wrong to expect miracles from Red Bull's new upgrade package which will be introduced at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.

Red Bull has made a slow start to 2017, languishing well behind Mercedes and Ferrari, scoring just one podium in China courtesy of Max Verstappen and failing to challenge for race wins at any of the opening four flyaway races. Despite bringing a significant upgrade to Barcelona this weekend, Ricciardo has ruled out a potential win on Sunday and believes simply closing the gap to Formula One's top teams, not overtaking them, would be a realistic aim for the moment.
