What Does Daniel Ricciardo's Hungarian GP Win Tell Us About Red Bull's New Star? Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised—he did just turn 25 and has only started 11 races with a front-running team—but the Australian's ongoing success does feel a bit surprising. After his victory for Red Bull on Sunday at the Hungarian Grand Prix, though, surprise is no longer a valid response to Ricciardo's performances. Mark Thompson/Getty Images Ricciardo and Vettel As the Formula One circus breaks for the summer,Ricciardo—in just half a season—has firmly established himself among the upper echelon of drivers. He is the only man to steal victory from the dominant Mercedes cars (twice!) and has thoroughly bested his teammate, the four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel. And after two sublime passing manoeuvres on two former world champions in the space of two laps at the end of this weekend's race, we know that Ricciardo's smiling demeanour in the paddock is just a facade. The man has a killer instinct, with the skills to back it up. Since Ricciardo's maiden victory in Montreal last month, only Mercedes' Nico Rosberg has scored more points than him.

Here's your answer.. Helmut Marko: Vettel is a perfectionist, Ricciardo can drive around problems One of the real talking points of this season is the relative performance of the two Red Bull drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian keeps coming out on top against a four times world champion and Red Bull team director Helmut Marko this weekend offered an explanation. Ricciardo got his first win in Montreal last time out and after again out-qualifying Vettel in Austria he is now 6-2 against the German. But perhaps more telling is that his average grid slot is 3.6, while Vettel’s is 7.4. In mitigation, Vettel has had a lot of technical issues this season, more than Ricciardo, but there is no doubt that the reigning champion has yet to fully get the measure of this 2014 Red Bull car; as he admitted yesterday there is clearly more performance than he is able to extract because Ricciardo is managing to find it. Speaking to Australian TV Network 10 after qualifying in Austria Marko, who nurtured Ricciardo through the Red Bull driver programme and Toro Rosso, said that the problem is that Vettel is a perfectionist, where Ricciardo is able to drive around problems, “To be fair Sebastian had far more technical troubles (than Ricciardo). On the other hand they both get the same material. If the car is not to his liking, Daniel seems to be more a driver who can handle it. “Sebastian is a perfectionist; he needs to get the car really right and if it is not right he cannot make it like Daniel does.†Asked what he thinks Ricciardo’s other strengths are as a driver, Marko added, “First of all I have never seen him angry. He is very calm in the car, like he is siting there having a cup of tea. I’ve never seen him struggle with the pressure. He takes things as they are but he is very committed. “We had a driver search a few years ago in Estoril and he was really impressive in qualifying performance. So he delivers and he is very good in his analysis.†As for Ricciardo’s own explanation of how he keeps coming out ahead of his team mate the 24 year old from Perth, Australia said, “Yes it’s been going well for me this season, I seem to be getting the most out of it. It’s nice; I guess I’m still young enough to keep improving, keep learning. I’m still going through that process of maturing and making sure I’m on the right side of things. “Today I was 5th, he was 13th. It’s a big gap on the grid but not much in time (the margin was 0.163 seconds between them in Q2). It’s a short lap here and if you don’t get it right here you pay the price. We trail a lot in the first sector and make it up in the corners.†Red Bull’s drivers are 17th and 18th in the speed trap at 195mph, compared to the Williams cars at 204mph. All eight Mercedes powered cars occupy the top eight speed trap times in Austria, which will make them quite hard to overtake unless they suffer higher tyre degradation than their rivals.

A driver has been killed in an accident at a classic car race at Silverstone racetrack. Denis Welch was driving in a race for pre-1966 Grand Prix cars when the incident happened yesterday. The race was stopped and Welch was taken to the circuit's medical centre where he is reported to have died from his injuries. A statement issued by the organisers on the Silverstone Classic website said: "It is with great regret that the organisers of the Silverstone Classic have to report that, following an accident in a race for HGPCA pre-66 Grand Prix Cars today, Sunday 27th July, the driver of car number 19, Denis Welch, succumbed to his injuries later in the circuit's medical centre. "The event organisers, the race organisation, and the circuit's medical and emergency services, will all now be co-operating with the Police and the MSA (Motor Sports Association), the UK official motor sport governing body, to conduct a full investigation. "All those involved in the event offer sincere condolences to family and the friends of Denis Welch at this very sad time."
