Racing "in all of our DNA" but Vettel "really lives and breathes it" - Ricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo has claimed the intensity of former Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel will ensure his Aston Martin move is a success.
All Formula 1 drivers are devoted to the sport, but Ricciardo believes Vettel takes this to a different level and that the German "goes to sleep with racing thoughts".
"I think he is very driven, [that is] stating the obvious," said the Renault driver. "But he has always been very interested in the team itself technically and he is always willing to put the work in.
“I don’t know, racing, it’s in all of our DNA but he really lives and breathes it. We might go to sleep at night with maybe other thoughts, and I feel like maybe most of the time he is going to sleep with racing thoughts.
“I’m sure he is going to put the work in and I think it will be probably very successful for him.
“The team looks like they’re in a good place and I think he will contribute to that quite tremendously.”
After leaving Red Bull for Renault ahead of the 2019 season, Ricciardo was asked whether he had any advice for Vettel in moving from a team that is used to competing for championship titles to one involved in the midfield scrap.
“Obviously they [Ferrari] have been strong and up until this year Seb has always been in a winning team and has won, I want to say he’s probably won races every year for the last five years or close enough," added the Australian.
“It’s up to him I guess. It’s up to him to figure it out."
