Daniel Ricciardo (/rᵻˈkɑːrdoʊ/ rih-CAR-doh; born 1 July 1989) is an Australian racing driver who is currently competing in Formula One for Red Bull Racing. He won the British Formula 3 Championship in 2009. After Mark Webber announced his retirement from Formula One, Ricciardo was confirmed as his replacement at Red Bull Racing for 2014. In his first season with Red Bull, Ricciardo finished third in the championship with his first three Formula One wins, in Canada,Hungary, and Belgium. Ricciardo returned to winning form after over a two-year absence when he won the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix, eventually sealing third in the championship for the second time in three years at the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix.
His father was born in Ficarra, Sicily, but moved to Australia when he was seven. His mother was born in Australia, to Italian parents from Calabria.
Growing up in Duncraig in Perth's northern suburbs, his earliest memories of motorsport are of being held by his mother to watch his father race at the nearby Barbagallo Raceway in Wanneroo.
