Daniel Ricciardo believes a points finish this weekend in Australia would represent a good start for reigning world champions Red Bull.
Ricciardo has moved across from Toro Rosso but his first pre-season campaign with Red Bull has been marred by problems with the RB10.
The team has yet to complete a full race distance, leading Ricciardo to emphasise the importance of simply finishing the race.
“Not to play it down, but if we could finish and start the season with some points then, considering the winter we’ve had, I don’t think we’d be crying – I think we’d probably take that,” he said at an event in Melbourne on Wednesday.
