You sensed there would only be a few chances for a non-Mercedes driver to win this year, and Dan richly deserved it, for his impressive pace against a four-time champion who had the team wrapped around him, and his constant enthusiasm and smiling, even after his Australian misfortune. Vettel may have been quicker for much of this weekend, but that's an anomaly for 2014. I guess Seb's motivation has been hit by the car's performance, whereas for Ricciardo it's something of an open goal to establish his reputation.
