Daniel Ricciardo

I train five-and-a-half out of seven days and do a combination of exercise. ”

Good overtaking is important to me. There are a lot of quick maths involved. I will prepare from the corner before, thinking, 'If I exit this way, and the driver ahead of me is in a certain position, then I'll go for it.' If he is not where I hope he will be, then I won't pull the trigger. If he is, my decision has already been made. ”

I was addicted to going fast, finding the big hills on the pushbike. It was just something I enjoyed a lot - things with wheels. ”

I will always find a way to find a positive from things. ”

I know what I want, and the performance side is more important than ticking the money box. ”

As far as the outside things goes with Red Bull - I like the brand a lot, and obviously, I like the team a lot. We've always been a good fit for each other, so from that side, it's all been really good. ”

The way I see it is if I can't be happy doing this job, which is my dream job, then what's going to make me happy in life? ”

In the end, you have to just pull the trigger. Trust the car, trust the brakes, just go. ”

For my family, it was quite emotional because it has always been a dream of mine to be in Formula 1. For them, to see it come true was quite a special feeling. ”

I know that I'll joke around to the last minute I get in the car. But once the helmet's on - it's sort of a cliche, but it's true - it's quite symbolic that that is 'go time,' and I'm ready to have some fun and be bad while I do it. ”
