Ricciardo reveals F1 ‘fight back’
Daniel Ricciardo revealed the key characteristic missing from his F1 arsenal and how he had to change his approach to compete in the sport during the Ray White’s Connect conference in Australia.
He explained that he had to develop a killer instinct to succeed in Formula 1, despite his naturally easy-going nature, and shared the origins of his ‘Honey Badger’ nickname.
Since leaving F1 in 2024, Ricciardo has not returned to racing and has focused on exploring his identity outside of motorsport.
He has been seen hiking in Alaska, spending time with family and friends, and has definitively ruled out a return to F1, stating he is ‘done’ with the sport.
While a comeback in series like IndyCar or NASCAR is a possibility, Ricciardo currently has no immediate plans to reignite his racing career.
