Ricciardo VICTORY celebrated in stunning career highlight

Former Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo is at the centre of celebrations for what he has described as the highlight of his career.

The Aussie racer competed in the pinnacle of motorsport on and off between 2011 and 2024 but was brutally axed from the Red Bull junior team, VCARB, midway through last season.

Ricciardo has always proved a hit with F1 fans regardless of his team, but his profile as the smiliest man in motorsport catapulted him to another level of fame after the release of the Netflix Docuseries, Drive to Survive.

The 35-year-old now appears to be thriving away from the spotlight, having struggled during the later years in his career at both McLaren and AlphaTauri/VCARB.

In what many would describe as the prime of his sporting life, Ricciardo raced for Red Bull, having risen through the ranks of their young driver programme and proven himself at their junior F1 team.

When discussing his most iconic victory in F1, however, Ricciardo's joyous Monaco pool celebration faces strong competition from his only win with the papaya outfit.
