Danny Ricciardo

[macca]

He is an awesome bloke and driver, had the pleasure of watching him race around Barbagello once in an Alfa with some sort of 8 in it. Towards the end of the race he had lost, from memory 3rd gear and maybe another one and some how he was still LAPPING the back runners nearly mad it through half the pack before the end of the race.

We watched his dad race the Alfa at Oran Park, he was rather dominant winning most of the time.

It had a Chev V8 and was mid mounted? (back from the firewall as opposed to Ferrari's etc that are behind the drivers seat) with aluminium panels filling the interior of the car.

It was very well finished and always presented in perfect condition. Think his name is Joe.

Hey Guys, your not getting mixed up with Tony Ricciardello are you. He drives a Chevy powered Alpha.

Yes I am that's it. The net says something about Daniels farther Joe having an Alfa with a Chev V8. Is this the same car?

Looking at the sponsor on the door there is different surname spelling, had it all wrong. It was the car in your picture I was thinking of.

Tried searching his fathers history and all I get is F1 and Daniel aaarrrggghhhhh

Funny how close to fame you can get, I'm 63 now but used to have an interest in a HQ racer at Barbagello. Met Danny Ricciardo - but then he was just another kid hanging out at the race track. Damm.

We are praising the guy, why do you have to bring up something negative?

why are people so unkind......

[Pokey]

Ricciardo is already officially the number one Red Bull driver. He's a talent for sure.
..... I remember years ago a twin turbo V8 alfa or something Italian crashing at the end of a drag strip and the driver not surviving. Was he a Riciadello or similar?

why are people so unkind......

Because its fun Kamahl

Gotta love the bloke talent and down to earth.
At last a role model our kids can aspire too.

I must say Webber is also a top bloke.
comeon Aussie comeon

Vettel has now left Red Bull so Daniel should become their No 1 Driver

Lol He left because a rookie was showing him how its done! Sook!
