Red Bull look for season boost

Manama - Daniel Ricciardo has admitted on Thursday that he and his Red Bull team are disappointed with their start to the season, but remain keen to make amends starting with this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.

The Australian, winner of three races last year, said he had hoped for more than three minor points finishes in the opening three races and said he and the team - powered by Renault engines -- were working on improved starts.

"It sounded pretty good, finishing the first three in the points, but obviously we hoped for more at this stage," he said.
