If RB comes back to win both championship this year, it doesn't diminish the fact that ricciardo has finish better than vettel every race this year so far, in the same car

He should have won the driver championship in 2010. Every team has ups and downs and it's not like he's racing for Marussia.

If this is your idea of an unrewarding career, you must really hate your life.

If I was him, I wouldn't be content unless I was winning. I don't know where you got the notion that it's "unrewarding", but I don't think I need to present an argument of why an F1 driver probably measures their success in wins & championships. I imagine when you race GoKarts with friends, you're just happy to be out there, and just cruise along letting everyone know they're doing a great job.

He's won races every year with Ferrari.

Prior to Ferrari he had 2 years of horrible results with Renault (now Lotus). He won his first race with Ferrari. That sounds like a pretty good move on his part. Yeah he's probably frustrated not being able to keep up with RBR and now Mercedes, but that's the nature of the top level of any sports.

That fact is really puzzling to me. If these two were both in their debut year in F1 I'd say Daniel has a decent chance at a WDC title in the future. Vettel, not so much.

Unlike last year, Vettel is the one with the least reliable car in the team. He basically caught Daniel from 15th starting position last race. I think the mid season should be interesting.

DUDE!

That is awesome.

How high are you? Looks like you're 200-300 feet above the road?

Judging by the picture I'd say he's on a 15th floor roof/baller penthouse.

i am on the minus 2nd floor believe it or not.

i dont think its 200 feet high from the track though. i will post more pictures during the practice etc. and some video as much as my S4 let me do it. But no live streaming.

so far just trucks etc going on and people in team shirts walking around. But def. you can start feeling the race vibe around here. Up in the corner one movable Ferrari traffic just opened

here are some truck movements:
