Sebastian Vettel's decision to leave Red Bull didn't come as a shock, according to teammate Daniel Ricciardo.

Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo has admitted that Sebastian Vettel's departure from the former constructors' champions didn't come as a complete surprise.

The four-time world champion will leave the Milton Keynes-based outfit at the end of the season, to be replaced by Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat.

However, Ricciardo has suggested that the chance to drive at a rival team may have been an opportunity that was too good to turn down for the 27-year-old German racer.

He is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "I expected him to leave, so I wasn't shocked when he announced he was leaving.

"The way I see it, he has won four titles with Red Bull and obviously he has an opportunity elsewhere.

"Before he sees himself getting a bit too old for the sport, he probably wants another challenge."

Ricciardo is currently third in the drivers' rankings, 56 points ahead of Vettel.
