Australian Daniel Ricciardo has been named as Mark Webber's successor to partner triple world champion Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull in 2014.

According to Sport24, Red Bull team chief Christian Horner expressed that Ricciardo was a very talented and committed youngster, who had a great attitude, adding that it was fantastic for the team to choose him.

Ricciardo has been sponsored by Red Bull since 2008 and he started driving for Toro Rosso last year, claiming 22 Formula One points from 42 Grand Prix races, the report said.

The Australian is following the path Vettel took in 2009 when he switched from Italy's Toro Rosso to their British-based sister team Red Bull Racing, the report added.

 

Webber, 37, is leaving F1 to pursue a new career in sports car racing with Porsche, the report further said.
