Ricciardo said, "I've got two more years at Red Bull. That's where I'm going to be," he told reporters in Perth. "There's a lot of people that are tempted to jump into that (Mercedes) seat, and you don't blame them. I just hope whoever gets it appreciates it. It's a damn good one. But for me, you'll see me at Albert Park (Melbourne) in a Red Bull."
