MILTON KEYNES, England -- Daniel Ricciardo will join Red Bull from next season, stepping up from sister team Toro Rosso in a move that ends weeks of speculation about who will replace Mark Webber. Nate Thurmond Jersey . Ricciardo is replacing fellow Australian driver Webber and linking up with three-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. Webber, who has had a tense relationship with Vettel, is quitting F1 at the end of the season to race sports cars for German manufacturer Porsche. Red Bull says the 24-year-old Ricciardo has signed a multi-year agreement. "I feel very, very good at the moment and obviously theres a lot of excitement running through me," Ricciardo said. "Since joining F1 in 2011, I hoped this would happen and over time the belief in me has grown. Next year Ill be with a Championship-winning team, arguably the best team, and will be expected to deliver. Im ready for that. Im not here to run around in 10th place, I want to get the best results for myself and the team." Ricciardo was initially the front-runner to replace Webber, and the decision was expected to be made at last weekends Belgian Grand Prix, but it was put delayed due to speculation that 2007 F1 champ Kimi Raikkonen would leave Lotus to join Red Bull next year. "Its fantastic to confirm Daniel as the teams race driver for 2014. Hes a very talented youngster, hes committed, hes got a great attitude and in the end it was a very logical choice for us," Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. "He joined the Red Bull Junior Team in 2008 and weve seen in his junior career in Formula 3 and Renault World Series that hes capable of winning races and championships. Hes stood out in each of these categories and weve followed his progress with great interest."
