I think Ricciardo is a solid driver and will suit Red Bull, someone who will bring home solid points while not challenging Golden Boy!

It's not a case of not challenging Vettel. It's a case of working as a team to score as many constructors points as possible.

If we're to believe the rumors a congratulations has to go out to Daniel Ricciado, may he make a big splash at Red Bull. I suspect this thread will grow quite a bit over the remainder of this year.

Of course we will have to wait a bit. Marko now says (as reported in GP Update), that there will be no announcement at Spa.

Ohhhhhhh trust Marko to spoil the party

He's been announced.

I'm laughing more than I should have...Some problems for Ricciardo has started even before the driver for 2014 is announced

So then he can't go to Ferrari to fit into Massa's teeny tiny seat.

How awesome would it be though? It would be like Yoda and Luke Skywalker in the same team!

And can you imagine the haters? They're heads would explode!

He is young but it is hard to compare how good or bad the 2 alt redbull cars in comparison to the others. Is Grosjean a better driver than Ricciardo? Their points would indicate that is the case and would Redbull want to take a risk on inexperience? They don't want to lose their constructors championships either so it seems they have the money and they will target a strong driver that is expensive. Raikkonen just seems like the perfect match for a team like Redbull in every context including sponsorship.

The ultra rare occassion that Alonzo is behind Massa (outside of lapping him) all that Alonzo has to do is wait for Massa either to bonzi another driver, hit the wall or spin out. Then Alonzo goes bye bye
