Daniel Ricciardo

See how I was on your side there?

 

+1

Put Daniel in a good car and he does NOT disappoint!

 

When will the anti-Aussie button get pressed at RBR then ? Craap pitstops, engine and gearbox malfunctions, poor strategy calls... Cant be far away if Dr Marko is involved..

 

Lol, have faith ol son!

Maybe it's time for Vettel to move over and Ricciardo to shine!

 

Way too early to write off Vettel. However that looks like it may be veeeeery interesting.

 

But of course, after all.................he IS a 4 time World Champion!

Will be great to see how the rest of this season pans out. I am sure we are all looking forward to it.

 

PAP, you still trying to Mount Isa?

When you coming down here next?

 

Huh? English Doc!

Mid year, will be in touch.

 

That will be great.

 

Yes sir.

 

We'll see how Vettel goes from here... I must say I wonder if his 'best pals' comments this weekend were a bit of reverse psychology, but I also don't believe the team are going to knobble one of their own - going to be an interesting season.

 

That was part of my reasoning for believing Daniel wouldn't have a chance. What I didn't count on was that Marko actually likes Daniel and knows him quite well, as opposed to the "outsider" mark was.

 

Wasn't "following orders" one of the "get outs" at Nuremburg .... Vettel is a fail

 

Comparing any German person to the nazis is a cheap shot John, you can do better than that.

 

it was meant as a joke Ian, but apologies to anyone who took it personally

 

Dan the Man

 

Yes...Daniel is doing a great job of beating Vettel...esp when Vettel's car is broken down.

I think Webber transferred his luck to Vettel when he left. Two break downs in one weekend for Vettel so far!!

If the team rallies around Daniel he might do ok, but if it's like when Webber was in the team and everything was done for the golden boy, then I still think he'll be fighting a losing battle.

 

Here you go....since you're intent on being a smart arse about it, you can ignore this too if Daniel beats Vettel tonight.


Sebastian Vettel will start from 15th on the grid after incurring a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change on Saturday night.

Vettel made it as far as Turn 3 on his Q3 lap before his Red Bull came to a halt and he reported a loss of drive over the radio.



Vettel said he tried to nurse the car around the lap but it quickly became clear it would not be possible.

"In Q3 I left the pits and was in first gear to leave. I went up to second gear and lost drive in second gear, went for third and had third so I decided to keep going because it's possible to do a lap without second gear around here, but by Turn 1 I was stuck in fifth gear and couldn't go up or down and lost drive and had to stop."

After missing most of Friday practice with an electrical issue, Vettel admitted it had been a tough weekend.

 

My heart bleeds for the poor little ****er, and may there be many more weekends like this for him

 

A thought held by many.

 

Senna coulda done it.

There's no need.. Better that he is racing and Daniel can and is beating him fair and square

 

Yep....will be much better for Daniel to beat a problem free Vettel. Hopefully the team will give Daniel their full support.
