Currently, their arch-rivals are Ferrari, who occupy fourth place in the championship. Ricciardo and Norris are aware of the threat the Maranello team can pose for their 2021 season, which makes securing the points on the Hungaroring even more important.
Norris said, as quoted by Motorsport: “It is very difficult to get everything right at the Hungarian GP and we know it will not be easy to outperform our closest competitors in the Constructors’ Championship.
“Still, we’ll do our best to widen the gap even further and finish the first half of the season well,” concluded the Briton.
