<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix - 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</strong></h2>
The Australian Grand Prix technically originated in 1953 at the Albert Park Circuit, and Doug Whiteford took the win. However, it was a non-championship race, and the Australian Grand Prix was not integrated until 1985 in Adelaide. Williams driver Keke Rosberg became the first Australian Grand Prix winner in the F1 championship.

The first F1 championship winner at Albert Park was Damon Hill in 1996, again for Williams F1. Since then, Formula One has been a regular visitor in Melbourne. It is also worth mentioning that the Albert Park circuit has been the season-opening race, 21 times out of 24 races.

The 2021 event was originally scheduled to open the season in March but has been moved to November due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
<h2>Effect of COVID-19</h2>
The Australian Grand Prix was supposed to kick off the 2020 Formula One Season. However, the race down under was called off before it could really take off. The Pandemic meant a delayed start to the F1 season, with Albert Park, unfortunately, missing out on the 2020 calendar.

Since 1996 it has been held at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne every year, with the exception of 2020 when the race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix Circuit Details?</strong></h2>
The circuit utilizes parts of the public roads surrounding the Albert Park Lake. The road sections were rebuilt ahead of the 1996 race to ensure consistency and smoothness. This is where the Albert Park circuit differs from other street-going circuits.

The track itself appears fast and relatively easy to drive. The drivers have even praised the circuit for being easy to learn and achieve competitive times. However, the flat terrain around the lake, coupled with a track design that features few true straights, means that the track is not conducive to overtaking.

Each year, most of the motorsport infrastructure is constructed two months ahead of the Grand Prix weekend. Following that, they are removed within six weeks.

The land around the circuit has restricted access during that entire period. However, there usually is some amount of dissent from local residents. Nevertheless, the event is reasonably popular in Melbourne and Australia.

<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 with <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 with <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 “Joe” 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 the 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 Única 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-track </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 words <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.

In a career spanning nearly a decade, Ricciardo has competed in 214 Grand Prix weekends, winning eight races and clinching 32 podiums. The Australian has scored 1326 points in his F1 career till the end of the 2023 season.

He owns a McLaren 720s which was a gift to himself after his win at the Italian GP in 2021. The McLaren 720s comes with a price tag of $299,000. The Honey Badger's garage also houses a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000. His 599 horsepower-producing Porsche has a white metallic finish to it. Additionally, the Australian owns a 2016 Aston Martin Vantage worth $300,000 and has a 5.2 liter AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Another Aston and Ricciardo's prized possession is a $2.6 million Aston Martin Valkyrie which is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 and produces an astonishing 1100 hp. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. However, the most special car for Riccardo is his $7,540 Toyota Hilux which was gifted to him by his parents in 2006.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
British driver Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren during the 2019 season. He was initially interested in pursuing a motorcycle racing career. However, that changed when he attended his first kart race. He made his racing debut in 2014 at the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 3rd. A year later, he won the MSA Formula Championship while racing for Carlin. In 2016, he even won the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series.

Finally, in 2017, he won the FIA Formula 3 Championship and placed 2nd at the Macau GP. But in 2018, he could only muster 2nd in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, losing out to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/" target="_self" rel="noopener">George Russell</a>. In Formula 1, he has been fairly successful after making his debut in 2019 with McLaren. In his rookie season, he managed to secure 49 points and finished 11th in the driver standings. His maiden podium came in the following season. He has finished on the podium 15 times in his career; 3 of them coming in the 2021 season.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/">McLaren</a> #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship.

During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship.

The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Sainz_Jr." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr.</a> at McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers' standings. He has also defeated Sainz's successor, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a> quite effectively, despite the latter's abundant experience in F1. He finished 7th in the Drivers' Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season.

The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris' new teammate. After a slow start to the season, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-co-s-clever-tactics-tipped-to-destroy-lewis-hamilton-while-max-verstappen-remains-elusive/">McLaren and Norris found their groove.</a> Norris bagged 205 points over the course of the season–his career best–and finished only 1 point behind 4th place as both Leclerc and Alonso finished level on 206 points.

After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver's championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The scariest moments of Lando Norris' career</h2>
The Briton suffered what is arguably the worst crash of his career during the 2021 Belgian GP qualifying. The crash took place around the nerve-wracking Eau Rouge-Raidillon turn under appalling weather conditions. The very same year, Norris ended up being a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-robbery-remains-a-mystery-as-twisted-case-takes-another-turn-after-recent-judgement/">victim of a robbery</a> while heading out of the Wembley Stadium after the Euro 2020 finals between England and Italy. Norris lost his $75,000 worth of Richard Mille prototype watch in the robbery.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Net Worth</strong></h2>
In 2019, Lando Norris' salary was estimated to be around $2 million <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/03/30/how-much-are-f1-drivers-earning-in-2020-and-should-their-fees-be-capped/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to reports</a>. However, in 2021, Norris' on-track salary witnessed a substantial jump and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly raced up</a> to a whopping $9 million, which was only $1 million less than the salary of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo.

In February 2022, Norris extended his partnership with McLaren until the end of 2025. This particular <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634#:~:text=Lando%20Norris%20signed%20a%20contract,2023%20season%2C%20will%20likely%20go" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> will be worth $80M and hence, Norris will embrace yearly earnings of around $20M.

Norris also owns an E-sports team named '<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://quadrant.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quadrant</a>'. The Briton has a logo of his own too goes by the alphabets L and N and is usually written as 'L4NDO'. His helmet, too, sports a similar design.

As of December 2023, Norris' net worth is <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24632242/lando-norris-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> to be around $30 million.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Personal life</h2>
Not many know of this, but Lando Norris's father is <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-rich-list-2016-revealed-270" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the richest people in the UK</a>. Adam Norris is a multimillionaire who made his fortunes through pension funds. Norris' mother Cisca <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2019/07/12/lando-norris-interview-not-going-moving-monaco-yet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is Belgian</a> and the 22-year-old holds dual citizenship from Britain and Belgium.

In 2021, Norris officially revealed that he was dating the Portuguese model, Luisinha Oliveira. The Briton posted a picture of the two together holidaying on Instagram, to which his former teammate, Carlos Sainz, commented, "<em>It's official.</em>" However, the couple parted ways in 2022. Before Oliveria, Norris was rumored to be dating Ukrainian model Katerina Berezhna.

Born in the late 90s, one might assume Norris idolizes drivers like Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, or Lewis Hamilton. However, truth be told, he idolizes none of the Formula 1 drivers. Instead, his idol has always been MotoGP legend, Valentino Rossi. The Briton, on several occasions, has made it obvious by sporting bucket caps with the number 46 and 'The Doctor' written all over them.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Lando Norris: Foundations and Charities</b></h2>
Lando Norris put his gaming and sim racing abilities to good use. In April 2020, Norris raised over $10,000 as part of a charity stream for Twitch as an aid for those affected by COVID-19. Norris raised <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/148845/norris-to-shave-off-hair-after-twitch-charity-stream" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $12,000 and shaved off his head</a> (a promise he made if he hit $10,000 in donations).

But the 24-year-old didn't stop there. He teamed up with other F1 drivers to organize a charity stream in the fight against Coronavirus. Titled - <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/04/17/drivers-raise-70000-as-leclerc-wins-race-for-the-world-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race For the World</a>, Norris and 5 other F1 drivers raised over $70,000 in donations.
