Daniel Ricciardo

Daniel Ricciardo is one of the most beloved drivers in recent F1 history, known both for his speed and his overflowing personality and characteristic smile. The Australian from Perth showed the world his level when he beat Vettel at Red Bull (2014), winning his first race in Canada brilliantly. His 8 wins include extraordinary performances in Monaco (2018, the most technical race on the calendar). His stints at Renault and McLaren didn't reach his talent level, but his legacy as one of the fastest overtakers of his generation is consolidated.
