Red Bull to confirm Daniel Ricciardo at Spa

Daniel Ricciardo is set to partner Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull according to a report in Germany’s, Sport Bild.

The tabloid’s correspondents Bianca Garloff and Ralf Bach said that the news will be announced at next weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix. The paper quoted Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko as saying, “Unfortunately, I cannot say any more than that we will make an announcement at Spa.”

There has been no further official confirmation from Red Bull, Toro Rosso or any of the drivers.

Daniel Ricciardo told Sport Bild that he expects to get along with the reigning world champion should he be selected to race for the Red Bull team, “I know Seb quite well,” he said, “as I was the reserve driver in 2010. I was out for dinner with him a few times and we get on really well.”

Both Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso have also been linked to Mark Webber’s Red Bull seat, so we’ll only really know once an official announcement has been made.

If Alonso does move to Red Bull, Kimi Raikkonen’s rumoured move back to the Ferrari team does seem a little more likely than the Finn joining the team to play second fiddle to Alonso.
