Ricciardo at Red Bull: Webber lets go!

Daniel Ricciardo et Red Bull in 2014, it would be done. If this is not the first time that some have said it, this time the information comes from his compatriot Mark Webber! The Australian, who will leave the Formula 1 at the end of the year, leaving his place with the three-time world champion team, clearly indicated to Chanel 10, a television channel in his country, that the decision regarding his replacement had already been taken by Red Bull. Implicitly, he made it clear that it is indeed Daniel Ricciardo who will take his place next year. “The decision has been made, declared the veteran of the F1 field. We all know who it is. I am happy with this choice. It?s good for him and for Australia. »

Questioned by Canal + before the start, Christian Horner, the Team Principal of the triple world champion team, specified, on the contrary, “that no decision had yet been made” and that an announcement could take place “in the next two weeks”, i.e. before the last European Grand Prix, in Italy. It seems that Mark Webber didn't know how to hold his tongue.
