Lewis Hamilton warned by Red Bull rival: This is why I can catch him this year
DANIEL RICCIARDO believes Lewis Hamilton is firmly in his crosshairs this season if Red Bull have as successful an off-season as they did in 2016.
Lewis Hamilton is favourite to win a fourth WDC in 2017 - his third with Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton had won two consecutive F1 World Drivers’ Championships before losing out by five points to Nico Rosberg last year.
Ricciardo was another 124 points adrift in third place as Mercedes dominated the grid for a third consecutive year.
However, with a new tranche of regulations coming in over the winter that will see car design shift again, the Red Bull driver believes he and Max Verstappen can make life much more difficult for the Brit.
“What do I do? Everything!
“From cycling, strength training in the gym, boxing…the list goes on and on.”
