With 8 Grand Prix victories and 32 podiums in Formula One, Ricciardo’s racing career was nothing short of impressive.
His journey into motorsports began with his debut at the 2011 British Grand Prix, driving for HRT as part of a deal with Red Bull Racing. In 2012, he joined their junior team, Toro Rosso, driving a Ferrari-powered car for them until 2013, when he was promoted to the parent Red Bull team.
During his first season with Red Bull, Ricciardo secured his first three F1 wins in Canada, Hungary, and Belgium. Although he experienced a two-year drought of wins, after the 2013 season, he returned to the top of the podium at the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix, ultimately sealing third in the championship for the second time in three years at the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix. He won again for Red Bull at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in 2017 and the Chinese and Monaco Grand Prix in 2018.
After the 2018 season, Ricciardo signed with Renault and raced for them in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. After just two seasons, he joined McLaren in 2021 and achieved his only race win and podium for the team at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix.
Ricciardo’s impressive career was recognised when he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2022 Australia Day Honours. Despite his success at McLaren, Ricciardo left the team at the end of 2022 and became the third driver for Red Bull Racing for the 2023 season.
Sitting in the pool of drivers for the Red Bull team, he returned to the grid when he replaced the outgoing Nyck de Vries at sister team AlphaTauri after the tenth round of the 2023 season.
For the 2024 season, while Ricciardo continued with the team, another rebranding took place at AlphaTauri, and the team became known as the Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team, often referred to by its acronym VCARB or RB. However at round 18 of the season during the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, rumours circled the paddock that Liam Lawson would replace Ricciardo. The following Thursday, 26 September, Lawson was confirmed with a full-time race seat alongside Yuki Tsunoda for the remaining six races of the 2024 season, ending Riccardo’s F1 career.
