If you have been keeping up with your favorite Australian via social media, you are aware of exactly what Daniel Ricciardo is up to. The Honey badger is making the most of every second of the free time he has on his hands. However, Ricciardo still has duties that will see him return to the track as early as the Australian GP. Although, if you have been confused about those duties like the rest of us, Ricciardo was kind enough to give us a glimpse into them.

The Australian took to his LinkedIn to share his plan of action (POA) with the world. The Australian talked about his Red Bull goals, the “tough couple of years” at McLaren, and his personal goals. This is an important period for Ricciardo who wanted to mentally recharge and take some downtime for himself because he’s back. This is exactly what the Red Bull man revealed in his LinkedIn update.

“From a professional point of view, this year is really about being a team player at Red Bull. Jumping into the simulator, learning their car, and helping shape the development are all things I’m focused on doing. In turn that will develop my abilities, my confidence, and my enjoyment behind the wheel,” he revealed.

He then also mentioned the trying period at McLaren. “It’s been a tough couple of years professionally, so there’s an element of that competitor in me wanting to remind people that I’m still here, still a professional, and still contributing to success.”

He explained, “From a personal perspective, this year for me is really feeling like a bit of a luxury to have the opportunity to do things that I’ve always wanted to and not had the time. I don’t want the year to pass me by, because if I am racing again next year, I’ll wish I’d made the most of the free time whilst I had it. So I have 3 goals on the personal front:”

  1. “Travelling, on my own terms.”
  2. “Spending more time with the important people in my life.”
  3. “Improve my skills on two wheels.”
