MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Daniel Ricciardo expects to gain a full grid place by starting the race on the super-soft tyres at the Mexican Grand Prix. Air Max 97 Valentines Day 2019 .Ricciardo qualified fourth on the grid behind teammate Max Verstappen in third and the two Mercedes in first and second. Mercedes has opted to start both its drivers on the soft tyres by using that compound in Q2, but the two Red Bulls will start on the higher-grip super-softs from the second row.Combined with the long run down to Turn 1, Ricciardo hopes the tyre advantage off the line will mean he is challenging the Mercedes drivers into the first corner.It should give the estimated grip levels gains, if you do a perfect start it should give you one grid position, he said. If Mercedes do the perfect start and we do the perfect start, it should put me one place closer. Ideally that just puts me in a good position to get a good slipstream, so perhaps when you do 200m, the slipstream that takes over. So it is probably that first 100m, 200m that makes a difference... then it is finding a friend down the straight to help you along [with a slipstream].If we can understand that for tomorrow and get the tyres in a better window then I think anything is possible tomorrow. Nico looks like he struggled for the majority of the day but I think it will be interesting tomorrow. If we can get track position with the super-soft at the beginning hopefully that is the case and you guys can write about something cool tomorrow.Red Bull opted for the same strategy in Austin one week ago and Ricciardo was able to use the extra grip of the super-softs to get ahead of Rosberg into Turn 1. Although Mercedes appear to be lining up a one-stop strategy, Ricciardo is confident his teams decision to start on the softest compound and two-stop is the right one.We just need to try and make it work off the start. That is where we should get the gain. Beyond that, we dont feel it [starting on the super-soft] worked too bad for us in Austin. The tyre degradation is pretty similar here, like Austin we dont think we can do 15 laps on a super-soft, so we are in a similar boat.If it is a two-stop then it is giving us a faster tyre to start the race, I dont see it being a bad thing. If the Mercedes are able to go really long on the soft and do a comfortable one stop then maybe their strategy works best but if we all fall into a two stop strategy then it doesnt look too bad.
