Daniel Ricciardo does not fear being left without a drive next year, despite Red Bull's continued threats to quit the sport.
Red Bull is currently without an engine contract for 2016 and has warned that it will withdraw both its senior team and junior outfit Toro Rosso if it does not get a competitive supply deal in place. But Ricciardo, who heads up Red Bull's driver line-up, thinks the situation will be resolved.
"I'm not [concerned] to be honest," he told Sky Sports News. "Sure, we've got a situation that we need to resolve, but the way I see it we've still got time on our side.
"I think there is enough desire in the team to be on the grid in a competitive way, so I'm faithful we will find a way not only to be on the grid but to be competitive. That's really what we want."
Ricciardo believes Red Bull's rivals benefit from the competition the team brings and has urged either Mercedes or Ferrari to step forward with an engine supply deal for 2016.
"I think from that point of view you have to relish a challenge. Even Mercedes with the dominance they have had for the last 18 months, sure it's nice when you are winning all the time but it's good when you win when there are a few more cars fighting for it. I really think the top teams around us will want a bit more of a challenge, so it will happen, it will happen."
