And when a team says that there was only one new wing available, and they're giving it to the man in the best position in the championship, well, what makes more sense than that?
Suddenly Webber was being treated unfairly? lol

Webber was ahead in the championship at the time.
Vettel was on 115 points before the race, Webber on 103, so I think you'll find this statement erroneous.

I feel bad for Ricciardo, but rules are rules
Yep, other teams followed what the FIA wanted - even though they had doubts. All systems must work together as one. He will have is day again.
I love how he still smiles after what he's been through. Such character this driver has.
Please, Daniel, keep giving Seb a run for his money.

Part of me thinks that Ricciardo is the new Vettel in the eyes of Red Bull.
Think about it, Vettel has NEVER public ally committed his future to Red Bull. The constant rumours of his 'agreement' with Ferrari never die, meaning there's some truth there somewhere.
The team even said they wouldn't stop him leaving.
I think maybe the tides have changed and Danny will be the new golden boy.
If for no other reason than the fact that it validates their Young Driver Programme.

I may be a loyal Silver Arrows fan, but, I really admire Daniel Ricciardo. I love how even if he has a bad race weekend, he smiles and works hard to do even better.
Good on you, Daniel! That attitude will get you very far in your career!

You are a loyal silver arrows fan? From 1930? Or since Lewis Hamilton left McLaren?

It was a good points finish for his team's home race.

4 points and 3 DNFs for the Red Bull family at their home race.
Little bit embarrassing!

Even though Hamilton is the World Champion, and, I could not be any happier about that. I think Daniel has been the best driver all season.
If he was also in a Mercedes, there's a possibility he could have outclassed Rosberg and maybe Hamilton.
Daniel Ricciardo is my driver of the year.

A bad quali means I can go forwards in the race.
Agreed,
When you then factor in that he had done a pretty quick journey through FR3.5/GP2, F1 with HRT, Toro Rosso and this was his first season in a "competitive car".
The other "big boys" Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Button all world champions with 8 years plus in winning cars and he bowed to no one.
He replaced Webber who was a very good driver but was outclassed by Vettel and turned the tables.
He took a 4X WDC and made him look a tad ordinary.
He was the only non M/Benz driver to win a race.
That IMO is something special and in my books he is the most valuable driver in F1.
