Daniel Ricciardo’s F1 career

Daniel Ricciardo had his first taste of F1 driving when he tested for Red Bull Racing back in 2009. He took to it with ease blitzing his fellow young drivers in trials. In 2012 he made his F1 Championship debut for Toro Rosso where he once again made a huge impression. In 2014 Ricciardo’s career went to the next level when he was announced as countryman Mark Webber’s replacement at Red Bull.

2016 would prove to be a massive year for the man they call the Honey Badger. He finished the year in 3rd position behind Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. Despite some disastrous moments in Monaco and Spain (through no fault of his own), Ricciardo had seven podium finishes whilst pulling off his fourth career win in Malaysia.

In 2017 Daniel Ricciardo is perfectly poised to give the Formula One Championship a red-hot tilt. Stop one is Albert Park where Ricciardo is desperate to become the first Aussie to win the Australian Grand Prix on the Melbourne circuit.
