Daniel Ricciardo believes he has the ability to take on anyone on today’s Formula 1 grid in equal machinery, even Lewis Hamilton.

The Red Bull racer, who previously raced with HRT and Toro Rosso before joining Red Bull, can lay claim to the fact that he is the only driver to beat Sebastian Vettel as his team-mate.

Stepping up to Red Bull in 2014, he got the better of the four-time World Champion – some would suggest prompting Vettel’s move to Ferrari.

Since then he has teamed up with Daniil Kvyat and now has Max Verstappen as his team-mate but admits he is dreaming of the opportunity to take on reigning World Champ Hamilton.
