Albeit ruling champion Vettel is practically totally out of the retribution and has just a numerical chance, Horner says it is too soon for Red Bull to consider group requests to support Ricciardo's test.

Vettel completed second to Hamilton in Singapore on Sunday with Ricciardo  third while Nico Rosberg resigned with an electrical disappointment.

"Mercedes have a gigantic focal point as of right now," Horner said. "We'll take it one race at once. Both of them are still just in it and both have taken a piece of focuses out of Nico.

"Daniel, OK he's surrendered three focuses to Seb however is that going to have the effect? Difficult to say with a precious stone ball at this stage yet right now it doesn't bode well for meddle with group requests.

"Daniel is completely agreeable and content with that.

"On the off chance that there was a practical possibility of Daniel winning and Sebastian was scientifically out of the title, then we'd do the best we can for the group however the circumstances we're in right now is its a long shot."
