Vettel: Ricciardo will have more pressure

Sebastian Vettel was presented last night at the FIA ​​Awards Gala with his fourth trophy in a row rewarding him as world champion of F1. Suffice to say that with such a performance, the German is at home within the Red Bull Racing. But after dominating his teammate Mark Webber, the reigning world champion will have to get used to a new teammate in the person of Daniel Ricciardo who showed promising performances at the end of the season.

The Australian's situation is not easy since he will have to face the strong man of F1 while he will have the same machine. Compared to Sebastian Vettel's debut in the first Red Bull team in 2009, the pressure will be much greater since the RB10s will be observed very closely after this series of successes from the Milton Keynes team. A detail that the four-time world champion does not fail to highlight. “It’s a great opportunity. It's sort of the same situation I found myself in in 2009.", underlines the German on ESPN F1. “He is still very young (24 years old, compared to 26 years old for Sebastian Vettel) and he has already been part of the Red Bull family for a while. I can't wait for next year. »
