SILVERSTONE, England (Reuters) - Daniel Ricciardo is ready to progress from being the 'other Australian' on the Formula One starting grid to the only one next year.

Where the Toro Rosso driver ends up remains to be seen but in his ideal world it would be at champions Red Bull as replacement for compatriot Mark Webber, who announced on Thursday that he will be leaving the sport at the end of the season.
