    I think this young man deserves his own thread here.
    He is doing everything Red Bull have required of him and looks to be a high possibilty of being the next Australian F1 driver.
    The latest triumph -
    "Daniel Ricciardo took a stunning victory in Monaco today, in front of packed grandstands and the F1 fraternity. Racing in front of the Red Bull and Toro Rosso F1 teams to whom he is reserve driver, the Perth born racer took a flawless lights to flag victory to take his first win in the Formula Renault 3.5 championship."

    You'd think they'd take him over Massa, considering there was talk last night that Massa could be leaving Ferrari and going to Red Bull to take Marks seat. He's doing very well.

    Why would you get rid of Mark?

    I'm sure Daniel would be looked at for Toro Rosso before Red Bull, because this is what they do!

    Couldn't agree more Horse, just repeating what was said last night. A few more wins and I can see his contract being extended. I'm sure I heard them say Mark could go to Ferrari, but Kubica is likely to go there???

    I think you're on the money with Daniel going to Torro Rosso first up. I just think that if they don't renew Mark's contract at Red Bull, then they should put Daniel in the car over Massa. He's proven his ability in testing. By far the fastest out there. The win at Monaco should help that cause.

    Awesome! I must check out the program and see if I can get to one of these races. Probably more interesting than some of the F1 races these days! Please pass on congrats.
