Daniel Ricciardo is a racing driver from Australia who currently competes for Red Bull Racing in Formula 1. In 2009, the driver won the British Formula 3 Championship. Ricciardo was named as the replacement for Mark Webber after Webber announced he was retiring from F1 in 2014. Ricciardo came in third in the championship in his first season with Red Bull Racing. He performed poorly during the next two years but returned to winning ways in 2016. Ricciardo won the prestigious Malaysian Grand Prix that year, finishing third in the championship once more for the season.
Ricciardo has recently been in the news after being linked with a possible move away from Red Bull Racing. His racing rival, Lewis Hamilton, has stated that he thinks it is unlikely the Australian will move to Mercedes and that he believes his future lies at Red Bull Racing, where he enjoyed a successful few seasons.
