Red Bull can harbour ambitions of catching Ferrari by the August summer break, reckons Daniel Ricciardo. Adam Oates Jersey . F1s former all-conquering champions have made a stronger than expected start to the new season and, with one podium and three fourth places so far, are already just four points behind Ferrari in the standings.And Ricciardo believes that while Red Bull may remain adrift of F1s top two teams for now, an expected upgrade to Renaults engine at Junes Canadian GP could allow them to bridge the gap to the first of their leading rivals. Were certainly getting closer, said Ricciardo ahead of this weekends Russian GP, where he will test Red Bulls new aeroscreen head protection concept in Practice One.Still, I think if Mercedes and Ferrari do their perfect lap, they are still ahead of us. But were certainly a lot closer, and its nice.Hamilton welcomes challengers I feel the chassis is better, for one, but if you look at the speed traps were a chunk closer than we were last year. Weve got improvements from both sides [car and engine] which is really encouraging.Naturally, the chassis gets better as the season goes on, but with some updates coming from the power unit side hopefully these two things keep going up and then we can genuinely at least be on Ferraris pace before the summer break. Heres a look at Red Bulls new cockpit screen, but what do their drivers think about it? Having warned during pre-season that they faced a transitional 2016, Red Bull have already picked up more points - 57 - than they managed in last seasons first eight races.Ricciardo feels the improvement delivered by the RB12 car is split equally between chassis and engine development - with performance gains from the latter even raising the subject of a once-unlikely contract renewal.Russian GP talking pointsRed Bulls long-standing relationship with Renault almost resulted in an early divorce in 2015, before an 11th-hour revision of their deal saw the teams engines rebranded under the Tag Heuer name for 2016 and the agreement continue into its final season. Now asked if they could extend the deal after a brighter start to this year, Ricciardo replied: Its definitely not unlikely now. And, if we do get what we hope and what we see from the update, it should put us on a Ferrari power unit level, which is competitive enough for the team and the chassis we have.So we might not have that much of a silly season with the power units as we did last year.Watch the whole Russian GP weekend - LIVE ONLY on Sky Sports F1.

Off-Season Game Plan looks at what the Blue Jackets may do to build upon last seasons success to return to the playoffs again next year.Two Atlantic Division foes, each with their own playoff jockeying still to do, jump it up Friday night when the New York Knicks visit Air Canada Centre to face the Toronto Raptors. Catch the game on TSN starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. You can also listen to all the action live on TSN 1050 at 7pm et. The Knicks are two games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference race. Both teams only have four games left on the regular- season docket. The Raptors are on the doorstep of the franchises first Atlantic Division title since the 2006-07 season. A win on Friday, or a Brooklyn Nets loss to the Hawks, and Toronto is the division winner and also clinches homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs. "Weve got to bring the same effort and focus every night," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said after practice Thursday. "Its not something you teach. Its a mindset of understanding where we are in the season and what were playing for." The Raptors have been on a roll of late with four consecutive victories and seven wins in their last eight. The only setback during that stretch was a road loss to the Miami Heat. Toronto, which has won five straight at home, earned its fourth consecutive win with a 125-114 home victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The 125 points marked a team high since Feb. 27. Jonas Valanciunas scored a career-high 26 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Kyle Lowry, who missed Torontos last three games with a bruised knee, registered 29 points with eight assists in his return to the lineup. "I was happy to be back out there with my teammates,&" said Lowry. Anders Bjork Jersey. "The guys did a great job while I was out." DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Patterson added 17 points apiece in the win. The Raptors shot 50 percent from the field and 48 percent from long distance. They only committed seven turnovers, but did allow the Sixers to shoot almost 52 percent from the floor. The Knicks have slipped out of the final postseason slot thanks to back-to- back losses. They fell at home to the Washington Wizards one week ago, then fell in South Beach to the Heat on Sunday, 102-91. That was the last time the Knicks took the court, so they should be well rested. "Ive got to get this team in the playoffs. Thats where my focus is," said Knicks coach Mike Woodson. "Thats where everybodys focus should be." J.R. Smith put on a record-setting performance from beyond the arc on Sunday, setting a Knicks record with 10 made 3-pointers. Smith also set a pair of NBA records, with 22 attempts from long distance in a single game and 24 made 3- pointers over a three-game span. He ended with 32 points. Raymond Felton had 15 points and five assists for New York. Carmelo Anthony, who played with a sore shoulder, added 13 points and six assists. "Throughout the course of the game, it just felt like a dead arm at times. Just a tough afternoon," Anthony said. Anthony is expected to play in Fridays crucial contest. These two teams will close the regular season on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. The Raptors have won both of this seasons meetings with the Knicks and three of the last four as the host in this series.
