Red Bull's home track of Spielberg proved to be an unhappy hunting ground for Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, but two weeks on and they enter the team's local race at Silverstone hopeful of renewing their fight with Mercedes at the front of the field.
Vettel and Ricciardo, along with team principal Christian Horner, discuss their prospects ahead of the 2014 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix...

"I always like going to Silverstone, the track is incredible to drive and the British crowd that turns out to watch the weekend is always massive - whether it's wet or dry everyone always looks like they are having a really good time. This year I will be staying in the UK after the race which is good because normally we have to leave straight after.
