Being four time champion Sebastien Vettel's teammate is mixed bag. On one hand, Daniel Ricciardo is an F1 driver with a good car, while on the other hand it's pretty clear that Red Bull Racing doesn't want you threatening the king. Regardless of the disqualification it's pretty clear from his second place finish at the Aussie grand prix that he's fast.

But is he faster than a RAAF F/A-18 Hornet? The F1 car will accelerate off the line faster than the jet, but it certainly can't break the speed of sound. Can Ricciardo get enough of a head start to win?
