# ''We will be stronger if it rains'' – Ricciardo

[![508022043_CM_3015_63942BB101BFBE1A3874F3E99C148CA3](https://www.f1update.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/508022043_CM_3015_63942BB101BFBE1A3874F3E99C148CA3-300x199.jpg)](https://www.f1update.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/508022043_CM_3015_63942BB101BFBE1A3874F3E99C148CA3.jpg)Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo has stated that he will be more competitive on Sunday if the expected forecast comes true and it rains.

Ricciardo’s win at the Hungarian Grand Prix came in changeable conditions and the Australian is hoping for a similar scenario.

”I’m happy with how we bounced back in qualifying after my mistake yesterday, I thought we would be better here, but I think sixth is realistically what we could do today. If it rains tomorrow then we should be looking a bit better”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner suggested Red Bull compromised their qualifying by using a ”wet set-up”

”On face value, sixth and ninth aren’t exactly stellar grid positions but, with the decision on set-up that we made for tomorrow’s race due to the inevitability of rain at some point, hopefully that will pay dividends tomorrow. We will see in 24 hours. I think Daniel extracted everything he could out to the car today and it was good to have both drivers getting through to Q3.”

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel will start ninth.
