Who wants to see Daniel Ricciardo as a full time F1 driver?

I would guess that most of you guys would know about Australia's next F1 driver, and about just how fast he has been over the past few years when testing for Red Bull. I think he deserved a full time drive for Toro Rosso this year, due to his blistering pace which has been proven over the last few years, so I just want to if anyone else would love to see just what he is made of?

Sorry if a similar topic/post has already been posted!

I've never heard of him but sure, F1 could always use more Aussie drivers.

He will have a hard time breaking in with Red Bull.

Obviously, he won't be up with the parent team any time soon.

And the sister club has spent 3 years developing a car around Buemi - who I think is quite promising - and Algusqari who has major financial backing.

Does he have money behind him Brad?

Hopefully he doesn't piss anyone of at RedBull ala Brendon Hartley.

RB is the hardest team to crack into the top flight due to their driver programs.

dana, he is a promising talent, he won the british F3 championship after all. he's been groomed by RB just like hartley was but he has gained favor recently and took hartleys spot. to his credit he has been quick so its not all politics, i don't believe he brings much to the table as far as finance goes though.

From a quick search, it was the Austrian half of the Red Bull Racing group that he got on the wrong side of. He wasn't posting results. While the British half loved his development duties.

Basically. I know a bit more background stuff on from that.

Shame really.

I'm not sure if he ha money behind him, but I'm pretty sure he is the 3rd driver for Toro Rosso this year, correct me if I'm wrong.
