“It’s good to be home!” said Ricciardo.
“I am beyond excited to get back out on track in Melbourne.”
“Nothing beats a home crowd, and the Australian fans are some of the best in the world.”
“I’ve been back in Perth since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and I feel rested, prepared and excited to get stuck into one of my favourite weekends of the year.”
“It will also be great to try out the new layout for myself, particularly the sweeping right hander as it seems fast.”
Speaking ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, Ricciardo said he was encouraged by the work McLaren had put in after a disappointing start to the season.
“The end to my race in Jeddah was frustrating but it was encouraging to see how the team’s hard work is starting to pay off bit by bit.”
“There were a lot of positives to take out of the weekend and I’m a lot more comfortable in the car.”
“We still have a long way to go, and we’re focused on the task at hand.”
“Let’s get back out there, fight as hard as we can and hopefully put on a bit of a show!”
