Daniel Ricciardo

I've never really been too fussed about the kind of teammate I have. ”

I don't like letting anyone down. Not many people get satisfaction out of letting others down. ”

If you like going a certain way, then be bold and do it. ”

When I came into Red Bull, everyone thought, 'He's just the happy, nice guy; he's fast, but he can't race hard with these top guys.' That was a reputation I had to dismiss. ”

I love coming to America to race. Maybe that's because I'm a big fan of NASCAR as well. ”

Because of my schedule and dietary requirements, I don't party a lot, but when I can let my hair down, I will; I think that's healthy. I love a weekend in Vegas. ”

I used to go to work with Dad on the weekend. We'd drive past an indoor go-kart track every now and then, and we went there a few times. I was never tall enough, so I always left upset. I think I was seven when I was the right height, and I was like, 'Please let me have a go.' It was love at first sight. ”

I would love to do a one-off race somewhere - NASCAR would be awesome. ”

I love music which helps me get focused and keeps my thoughts away from other things. The music gets heavier as the race gets closer, and my warm up routine starts to get a bit more intense with heart rates, etc. ”

I would like it to be remembered; I would love to be World Champion one day and have my name on the list. That is the real dream - although I am sure it is the dream for pretty much all the Formula 1 drivers. ”
