Daniel Ricciardo returns for an epic road trip around Australia
Daniel Ricciardo has taken an epic road trip across Australia ahead of his homecoming grand prix with Red Bull.
As Red Bull’s Formula One Reserve Driver, Ricciardo will return to the F1 paddock in Albert Park, making stops along the way in Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales.
Joined by Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen, off-road racers Toby Price and Daniel Sanders, and aerobatic pilot, Matt Hall, the trip took the extremes of the uniquely Australian conditions.

Despite the iconic helmet, it’s not always Ricciardo behind the helmet, with Kiwi Liam Lawson making a cameo driving the Red Bull RB7 around Bathurst’s Mount Panorama circuit.
“Aussie fans always bring a lot of energy and I’m excited to see the F1 fans in Melbourne,” said Ricciardo.
“After my first Red Bull Racing Road Trip in San Francisco, I’ve always wanted the opportunity to do this in Australia.”
“To be back home, taking the RB7 across the Aussie outback, and sharing the best Australia has to offer with the world; what better way to celebrate my first F1 event at home since returning to Oracle Red Bull Racing.”
