Daniel Ricciardo Wikipedia

Daniel Ricciardo was born on 1st July 1989 in Perth, Western Australia, Australia. He attended high school at Newman College and started karting at the age of 9 as a member of the Tiger Kart Club (TKC) and entered numerous karting events.

In 2005, he entered the Western Australian Formula Ford championship driving a 15-year-old Van Diemen, finishing eighth by season’s end.
Towards the end of the season, Ricciardo took a leased 13-year-old Van Diemen across to Sandown Raceway in Melbourne to compete at the national Formula Ford series but his ageing car was uncompetitive as he finished 16th, 17th and retired during the weekend’s three races.

Ricciardo made his track debut at the wheel of a Formula One car when he tested for Red Bull Racing at the young drivers test at Circuito de Jerez over three days, starting on 1 December 2009.

On the final day of testing he clocked the fastest time of the test by over a second. This placed him as the only driver to go into the 1:17 bracket.
Red Bull Racing’s team manager Christian Horner suggested that Ricciardo may replace his 2010 World Series teammate Hartley as the team’s test and reserve driver.

Ricciardo and Hartley went on to share test and reserve duties for both Red Bull, and sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso until the latter was removed from the Red Bull Junior team.

On 11 November 2010, Ricciardo was confirmed as the single driver to represent Red Bull Racing at the end-of-season young driver’s test at the Yas Marina Circuit, on 16–17 November.
Ricciardo continued to show his one-lap prowess and dominated the event, with his fastest lap being 1.3 seconds faster than 2010 World Champion Sebastian Vettel’s qualifying lap the Saturday before.

Days later, Ricciardo was confirmed as Toro Rosso’s test and reserve driver for the 2011 season, and would take part in the first free practice session of each race weekend.

Franz Tost, Toro Rosso team principal stated that “having a hungry youngster on the books will keep our current driver pairing nice and sharp”, referring to then Toro Rosso drivers Jaime Alguersuari and Sébastien Buemi.

Daniel Ricciardo drove the Red Bull RB19 in the Pirelli tyre tests, and it was announced that he would fill the vacant seat, making his return to the AlphaTauri team and to Formula One for the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Ricciardo qualified and finished in 13th position in his first race back with AlphaTauri in Hungary. Despite a first-lap incident that dropped him into last, Ricciardo recovered to 13th place.

During the second free practice of the Dutch Grand Prix, Ricciardo broke a bone in his hand, preventing him from competing for the rest of the weekend. Liam Lawson is set to replace Ricciardo, making his F1 debut.
