Ricciardo realises how important his first season at Red Bull Racing was

Daniel Ricciardo faced a fast young teammate at Red Bull Racing in 2016 who was almost immediately on his heels. A familiar situation for him, because two years earlier he had done the same to Sebastian Vettel.

In The Howie Games podcast Ricciardo talks about that first year at Red Bull Racing. He was promoted from Toro Rosso as a replacement for Mark Webber and immediately put the German under pressure.

Vettel had difficulty adapting to the new hybrid cars and was only on the podium a few times. Ricciardo, on the other hand, won three times and finished third in the championship behind the Mercedes duo. The Australian realises how important that season has been for his career.
