Daniel Ricciardo 'pulled it out of the bag' for the fourth qualifying session in a row

Daniel Ricciardo "pulled it out the bag" once again during qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday but the Red Bull hopeful is unsure what the race might bring.

There has also been the suggestion that Toro Rosso might be one of those teams disadvantaged by the new tyres Pirelli have introduced this weekend. "Up until qualifying I probably would have said, 'Yes'. But we seem to have found the pace in qualifying again," was Ricciardo's response. "McLaren were looking really strong all through practice again but they were behind us again in qualifying. I think a little bit has changed but it's the same for everyone." The ability to, as Ricciardo says, pull a qualifying lap out of the bag is seen as a hallmark of all great F1 drivers and the fact that he is doing it repeatedly, and under such close scrutiny, is hardly going to harm his chances of stepping up to the World Champions. "It's good fun. I think it's something some of us enjoy about the sport as well; it's really pushing yourself when everyone's watching," Ricciardo added. "When you can prove it in front of a lot of eyes then that's a rewarding feeling. "Getting into Q3 the last four times is definitely a confidence booster. It's like now, if I don't make Q3, I'll be really disappointed. "It used to be that I was really excited to get in but if I'm not now I'll be disappointed. It goes a long way and I've a bit of momentum now, which feels good."
