Reaction to Daniel Ricciardo’s promotion

After the inevitable became reality we’ve been interested to read the reaction via twitter from others to the confirmation that Daniel Ricciardo will join Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull Racing next year. We thought this photo taken back in 2006 when Daniel was racing in the Formula BMW Asia championship with Sebatsian, then a test driver for BMW Sauber, was a nice match.

The Autosport article “Ten reasons Red Bull signed Ricciardo” is also worth a read (subscription required).

Great stuff Daniel
You deserve it, some special days in the future I'm sure. Australian flag still flying too.. Little bonus.
