Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver that is at Red Bull as a third driver for the 2023 season.

Nicknamed 'The Honey Badger,' Ricciardo has become renowned for pulling off some fantastic, last-gasp overtakes since his arrival on the grid back in 2011 at the British Grand Prix with HRT.

Between 2012 and 2013 he was a Toro Rosso driver before sealing a promotion to Red Bull, where he stayed for four years until 2018.

In 2019 he joined Renault but was there for just two years before opting to head to McLaren for the 2021 season.

The 2021 campaign proved difficult at times for Ricciardo as he tried to adapt to the alien McLaren car, but the second half of the season did begin to offer signs he was getting to grips with the machine.

Indeed, the Italian Grand Prix proved a particular highlight, as he led home from teammate Lando Norris to win at Monza.

Hopes were that 2022 would be better, then, but Ricciardo again struggled and the decision was made that he'd end his time with the team a year short, with him recently announced as heading back to Red Bull for next season, this time as a reserve driver and ambassador.

Here's everything you need to know about Daniel Ricciardo:

Daniel Ricciardo was one of the most popular figures on the Formula 1 grid with his affable demeanour out of the cockpit and aggressive driving style in it.

He pulled off overtakes that few could even imagine and that made him one of the most entertaining drivers on the grid.

He has a handful of race wins under his belt but is yet to have had the opportunity to really have a shot at a world title, which is something he'll naturally want to change in the future if he returns to F1.

All the tools are there for him, the timing just needs to be right, and it remains to be seen what happens with him after his year away in 2023.
