In the week that the 2014 FIFA World Cup begins in Brazil, Australia have gone one-nil up against Germany in the big grudge match.

Daniel Ricciardo's maiden race win in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix is the first truly meaningful blow in his battle with Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel.

The 24-year-old had enjoyed plenty of possession up to that point, coming close with a few chances after missing a sitter at the very beginning of the encounter—but found the net when the ideal opportunity presented itself.

With his name on the scoreboard having silenced the doubters, it's now down to the established champion, the one whose accolades, medals and trophies make him synonymous with glory on the international stage, to launch a counter-attack.

It's a mouthwatering prospect and one that carries the core ingredient of all great rivalries in sport: the young, unfazed charger surprising a battle-hardened counterpart with not only his strong performance levels but the apparent ease at which he can reach them.

The scenario playing out at Red Bull so far in 2014, in fact, is not entirely dissimilar from the situation that occurred at McLaren between Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso in 2007.

Ricciardo, like Hamilton, has exceeded expectations against his teammate with a handful of podium places gradually building up to a breakthrough win in Canada, by which time his pace is considered the norm.



Meanwhile, Vettel, like Alonso—despite securing a few decent results—is struggling to master the new, unfamiliar equipment at his disposal which, along with the odd mistake or two, has shrouded his true abilities.

Unlike Alonso when Hamilton took his maiden race win in Montreal—the Spaniard finished seventh that day—Vettel was there to meet Ricciardo in parc ferme when the Australian returned from his parade lap.
