Daniel is a great young guy with a great attitude .

He has worked extremely hard to get to this point in his career and deserves all the success that comes his way.

Go the Honey Badger!!

Very impressive especially when he isn't in the fastest car, or even the second fastest car.

Believe it or not, he is a chance for the championship this year.

Nico has 4 wins and Dan has 3, however Nico is still 64 points in front.

If Dan wins every race from here, he will catch up 49 points, which won't quite be enough, but thats assuming Nico comes 2nd in ever race.

Lewis Hamilton will most likely make sure that doesn't happen.

Although unlikely, if Dan wins the next one, and Nico has a DNF, or doesn't score somehow, its back to under 40 points in 6 races which is very doable.

Red Bull seem to have found a way to make the cars go faster in a straight line which has always been their biggest weakness so interesting times ahead.

Daniel seems to have the ability to make an average car not only perform beyond it's capabilities, but his tyre management shows just how good a driver he really is. To me, that is where he has a real edge over his team mate in these 2014 cars. He is the standout driver of 2014.

Good Point Scott,

When SEB had the last tyres put on ( Soft ),

the commentators said:-

'he won't make it to the end with those'

but his tyre management shows just how good a driver he really is.

and when Danny had his Hard Tyres put on,

the commentators said:-

'why did they call him in, now they will have to de-tune the Car down to the lowest setting and hope for a Safety Car )

Daniel was 52 seconds in front of Vettel after 44 laps,to average over a second a lap quicker for the race is fukn impressive, to keep the boot in it when off the track at over 300kph in the wet during qualifying and still get 5th was ok as well.

Nice touch spraying the girls with a little champagne,just enough to make them squeal and not enough to ruin hair or makeup, he even tapped bottles with other podium finishers and said cheers before having a swig.

I always though Spa was low downforce, small rear wing on the RB helped with speed,Monza will be a struggle when the Mercs use small wings as well.

All i can say is - Live the dream Daniel
