Former Red Bull driver Mark Webber believes Daniel Ricciardo should focus his attention on beating teammate Max Verstappen at the start of this season rather than worrying about his 2019 contract.
Ricciardo's existing deal with Red Bull is due to expire at the end of this season and the Australian is keeping his options for 2019 with potential vacancies at both Mercedes and Ferrari.
But Webber, who drove for Red Bull between 2007 and 2013, thinks Ricciardo's main aim should be beating his teammate Verstappen.
"I think the best thing he can do is beat Max," he told Fox Sports.
