Ricciardo signed with Red Bull for 2014, according to Webber

Webber: "The decision’s made. We all know who it is. I’m happy with that decision. It’s good for him and good for Australia".



Thanks Mark

 

Seems odd that he'd come out with that prior to an announcement. It seems a little knobbish...

 

The team has taught him well then

 

I dunno... I just kinda saw it as him sticking two fingers up to RBR since he no longer has to tow the team line, but it should be up to Ricciardo and RBR to make that announcement if it's true... not Webber.

Not trying to Webber bash... I like the bloke.

 

Yeah, I understand him wanting to steal red bull's thunder but it's Ricciardo's thunder tbh.

 

Totally... That's why it kinda pissed me off.

 

Well...they stole his thunder again today..... Faulty clutch? I feel sorry for Ricardo. He will have plenty of those to come until he too decides to quit. He said Red Bull will be fair to him and let him race Seb...which planet is he on? He better wake up from his sleep and go pass water...because he is surely having a dream...lol...race Seb? At Red Bull? Ricardo...wake up! Wake up!..lol

 

Why would RBR hire a driver, and then hamstring him if he could be top banana? That would make no sense.

I can understand them hiring a driver that wouldn't get in Vettel's face... but I wouldn't expect them to hold back a better driver .

 

Watching this live, that interview really did have me laughing quite hard, was pretty funny

 

Seems like Mark's just out to cause problems for Red Bull when it comes to the media and announcements. First his short notice retirement announcement at Silverstone and now this, Horner and co must be pretty pissed.

 

I think you forgot who calls the shots the Red Bull...You don't want to see that finger come out. I don't think that even Horner has more say in Red Bull than Vettel. Webber always got the short end of the stick... even this last race..clutch problem. Before that Kers, then gearbox..it never ends for poor Webber. Well it will end after 2013, but I am sure the replace will just be another name...same treatment! Mark my words.

 

Apparently he's gone for a seat fitting at RBR. More and more news each day that he's got the seat, and the only person Horner is convincing that he hasn't is himself. Way to make your new driver feel wanted.

 

Look it's clearly obvious that Red Bull are trying to wind up Ferrari as long as possible from Monza and beyond by delaying the new driver. Vettel to Ferrari was BS, so is this...

 

So are you saying that Horner is lying again? Like when he said Red Bull will get on top of the problems that Mark Webber is having and that he is not satisfied with how Red Bull are dealing with it? I am so sorry for Ricciardo already...

 

I'm sure Daniel has a fair idea of what he's getting into and I wish him the best of luck; it's still a great opportunity for him.

 

Daniel will do fine and I have no reason to believe that Seb will "dominate him". Lets give some credit for the new up and coming drivers, they're not that far off the super elite IMO.

 

Red Bull are a ruthless team. They will give Ricciardo a fair chance in case he's better than Vettel or in case Vettel runs off. Its the second season he has to worry about (maybe).

 

he wont have to worry about 2015 at all as Vettel will be gone. Ricciardo will be the new favourite son of Doctor Bell
