Daniel Ricciardo gave an unexpected answer when asked which moment in his F1 career was his proudest so far.
Daniel Ricciardo considers his first Formula 1 win in the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix as one of his proudest career moments, proving his dream of winning. Another proud moment for him was during his first year at Red Bull in 2014, when he nearly got pole position in Melbourne, qualifying on the front row and finishing second. Despite these achievements, he does not count his 2021 Italian Grand Prix win with McLaren among his proudest moments, choosing to highlight moments from his time with Red Bull, particularly beating teammate Sebastian Vettel in 2014. Even though he was disqualified from the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, the podium finish stands out for Ricciardo as a defining moment due to performing at home under immense pressure with a new team. While he faced challenges with his move to Renault in 2019, he managed to secure more wins after joining McLaren, including a recent fourth-place finish at the Miami Grand Prix.
