It's Official - Daniel Ricciardo joins the Red Bull Racing for 2014 and onwards

It has been announced yesterday (2/9/13) that Toro Rosso driver Daniel Ricciardo will be Sebastian Vettel's team-mate in 2014 and 2015, after Red Bull announced him as its new driver who is replacing Mark Webber, who is off to drive with Posrche with their new LMP1 team in 2014.

Ricciardo will make the jump up to Red Bull after two full seasons with Toro Rosso, and a half a season for the HRT team in 2011.



In my opinion, this is not a big surprise this news happen. Two weeks ago, Kimi Raikkonen was the more than likely option, until his management he was not driving with Red Bull next season. Also, silly of the silly season rumours that Fernando Alonso could possibility be Sebastian Vettel's team-mate next season was a no go. Also, this is good for Red Bull junior program that two talent race drivers from that academy (Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo) that can win races and world championships in their top team. As for Daniel Ricciardo, good luck to your new drive at Red Bull for 2014, now the young Australian has nothing to lose and everything to gain in 2014.
