Daniel Ricciardo wants to help Red Bull, given that he is the team's third driver this season. Ricciardo spoke about his ambitions for this season in a post on Linkedin. His primary goal is to help the team, and everything else comes after that.
“From a professional point of view, this year is really about being a team player at Red Bull. I'm back in an environment and ultimately a family that I have a lot of good memories with and it feels really good to be back there,” Ricciardo wrote.
“But it's not about me this year, it's about the wider team and trying to contribute and help them where I can. 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. 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”.
Daniel Ricciardo and his goals
Ricciardo confirmed that he has set another goal for this year; to Improve himself on two wheels. Ricciardo is a person who looks forward to life and every new day. It is incredible how much strength and motivation he has, and we have no doubt that he will have a bigger role in his team in the future, or at least somewhere else.
“People might think I’m joking here but I really want to get better and better on my 110! I've always enjoyed motorbikes but never really been able to ride much because the luxury of time hasn't been there. But I love learning new skills and I think that drive for excellence that I’m used to will carry over into this hobby too.
I promise you this is the most fun you can have on two wheels. Riding with friends, jumping things and being out in nature. I’m getting excited just thinking about it”.
