The self-styled “Honey Badger” is fuzzy on the outside and feisty on the inside. Drivers beware because behind Daniel Ricciardo laidback persona and big grin is a razor-sharp racer with a bite.

The Australian combines all-out speed with impressive race craft. Never afraid to push to the limits if it means pulling off a pass, Daniel Ricciardo is a proven race-winner for Red Bull, capable of consistently finishing at the business end of the championship table.

A regular podium-finisher, Daniel Ricciardo has christened the steps around the world with a dousing of Aussie culture – the ‘Shoey’ – as he quaffed champagne from a soggy racing boot. Yes it’s goofy, but the trademark celebration illustrates why he is loved for his sense of humour but never underestimated on track.

A new chapter with Renault’s works team is sure to bring fresh challenges for the Perth pilot as he chases his dream of following Jack Brabham and Alan Jones as the next world champion from Down Under. But whatever happens when as leaves the Bulls behind, he is sure to keep on smiling.
