So now it's time to compare the Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat.
I'll start with the Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo.
He started racing in F1 back in 2011 with Hispania Racing Team (HRT) but moved to Toro Rosso the following year. After driving for Toro Rosso for two years he got a seat at Red Bull. It went very well for him at Red Bull!
Let's see how he has done against his teammates.
2011 - Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan. Ricciardo drove with Karthikeyan in one race and lost. Liuzzi and Ricciardo drove together in 10 races and the situation between them was 6-3 (one point is missing because neither one of them got a result in Italy). I could say that Ricciardo was the best at Hispania. Hispania or HRT never got a single point in the series.
2012 - Jean-Eric Vergne. Ricciardo lost to his teammate with 6 points (16-10).
2013 - Jean-Eric Vergne. Ricciardo won 20-13 in points and was 3 times more ahead of him in the races.
2014 - Sebastian Vettel. This was a shocking year for many! Daniel Ricciardo beat the 4 time world champion in wins, podiums and points. Vettel won no races at all and Ricciardo won three! The points were 238-167 so Ricciardo was clearly better in 2014.
Daniil Kvyat has only had one teammate in Formula One but let's still see what happened there.
2014 - Jean-Eric Vergne. He lost in points 22-8 to his more experienced teammate but still got a seat at Red Bull for 2015. This was a bit strange. Why isn't Jean-Eric Vergne getting any respect from Red Bull? He even beat Ricciardo in 2012! But all in all even though Kvyat lost to his teammate he drove very well and is probably going to improve a lot in 2015. If not then he hasn't got much time left in F1. If they give you 2 seasons and don't get the job done then it's bye bye.
