Michael Jordan is undoubtedly one of the most popular and prestigious names in the world of sports. So much so that even other renowned athletes take inspiration from him. Apart from Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo is one such sportsman who took inspiration from the NBA legend. Talking about his Renault days, Ricciardo’s performance coach Michael Italiano shared the reason why the Australian got inspired by The Last Dance, a documentary on Michael Jordan. Ricciardo and Italiano emphasized the ‘live in the moment’ attitude of the NBA star. Talking about this on beIN SPORTS MENA’s Dailymotion, Italiano shared [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7u882v], “He had the ability to be in the moment better than anyone else. The performance coach further stated, “His life was full on, he was followed by people. But then as soon as he stood on the court, he had the ability to cancel out any negativity, any stress outside basketball in his life that’s going on.” “He was able to cancel it all out, block it all out and just be in the moment,” conveyed Italiano.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

[caption id="attachment_2281676" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2281676 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-10-22T155101Z_1883919512_UP1EJAM1810EM_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-USA.jpg" alt="Daniel Ricciardo" width="1920" height="1400" /> Formula One F1 - United States Grand Prix - Circuit of the Americas, Austin, Texas, U.S. - October 22, 2023 AlphaTauri's Daniel Ricciardo is pictured wearing a cowboy hat ahead of the race REUTERS/Brian Snyder[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Career Timeline</h2>
One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Toro Rosso</a> alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered withÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>. He remained with the team after Vettel's departure in 2015, this time teaming up withÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Daniil Kvyat</a>. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place.

In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn't be extending his contract with the French outfit.

Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari - given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP.

After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Personal Life</h2>
For someone who's quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel's father is Giuseppe â€œJoeâ€ Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel's sister's name is Michelle. Daniel's father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at theÂ Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.

There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6754573/Daniel-Ricciardo-29-denies-dating-Jessica-Gomes-34-admits-rumours-positive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a <a href="https://people.com/who-is-heidi-berger-daniel-ricciardo-8349982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship with Heidi Berger</a>. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera <em>A Ãšnica Mulher</em>.

Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-nlf-afc-news-alphatauri-news-how-did-daniel-ricciardo-and-josh-allen-become-friends-what-nfl-team-does-the-f1-star-support/">Buffalo Bills is his favorite team</a>. He owns a Bills jersey and is great friends with Josh Allen. Ricciardo also has an impressive tattoo collection, which is pretty ironic, considering his fear of needles.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-trackÂ </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium.

While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo's 2019 lid, with the wordsÂ <em>"Stop Being Them"</em> caught everyone's attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being 'All good, all ways'.

During the rest of his career, he took five more wins. They were in Malaysia 2016, Azerbaijan 2017, China 2018, Monaco 2018, and the latest victory arrived at Monza 2021. His highest position in the Drivers' Championship has been third in 2014 and 2016.

Daniel Ricciardo

Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

A year later, he moved to Toro Rosso alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered withÂ Sebastian Vettel. He remained with the team after Vettel&#8217;s departure in 2015, this time teaming up withÂ Daniil Kvyat. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place. In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn&#8217;t be extending his contract with the French outfit. Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari &#8211; given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren&#8217;s Carlos Sainz. READ MORE &#8211;Â The Long List of Cars Owned and Driven by Daniel Ricciardo After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP. After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1. Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Personal Life For someone who&#8217;s quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel&#8217;s father is Giuseppe â€œJoeâ€ Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel&#8217;s sister&#8217;s name is Michelle. Daniel&#8217;s father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at theÂ Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia. There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger denied the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a relationship with Heidi Berger. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera A Ãšnica Mulher. READ MORE-How Expensive is Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Mansion in Los Angeles?

The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium. While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets.

His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being &#8216;All good, all ways&#8217;.
