The identity of Mark Webber’s replacement at Red Bull Racing next year will be Daniel Riccardio, as Webber virtually gave away the information.
When he was asked who he would like to see racing with Red Bull Racing alongside the current world champion Sebastian Vettel, Webber answered: "The decision's made. We all know who it is. I'm happy with that decision.”
Adding: "It's good for him and good for Australia."
Ricciardo currently drives for Red Bull Racing feeder team Scuderia Toro Rosso, other fellow contenders are the French Jean-Eric Vergne and Finnish Lotus’ Kimi Räikkönen. Webber hinted that neither of the other 2 contenders would be a good placement for Australia, because they are not Australian.
Ricciardo, in response to Webber’s comments, said that nothing has been confirmed yet.
