Australian Daniel Ricciardo reckons self-isolation makes for a perfect training camp - although it helps to be on the family farm in Western Australia with a swimming pool and some machinery to play with.

Speaking in a live Instagram Q+A organised by his Renault Formula One team, the Australian talked about what he was doing to pass the time waiting for a coronavirus ravaged season to start.

The opening race in Melbourne on March 15 was cancelled, and Formula One has said it hopes to start a reduced season some time in the European summer.

Six races have been postponed, while the Monaco Grand Prix has been cancelled, and await rescheduling.
