I'll miss you Danny. Even tho i only got 1 year of you racing, i won't forget that smile and laugh. Hope to see him in Indy or NASCAR in the future seeing how much he loves Dale Earnhardt and NASCAR
@@PinkBorussianot to fuel anything but there's a rumor going about that red bull and Perez are gonna announce the retirement of Sergio Perez at the Mexican gp
For anyone who thought he left. He will never leave. Ricciardo will stay with fans forever. From the Honey Badger’s divebombs to shoeys to his highs and lows of his career. Thank you Daniel Ricciardo and Thank you FP1Will for giving a legend the proper send off he deserves.
8x race winner... whose prime is long gone. He should have stayed in Red Bull and fight with Verstappen. He chose to walk away and he showed us all that he can only win with a good car.
Thanks for this Will. This feels like the closure all us beloved fans needed. Thank you for all the millions of smiles, all the shoeys, all your highs and all your lows. Thank you Daniel, for everything you have done and for everything you are about to do. ☮️ and ❤️ for all.
Thank you FP1Will. Great video. Daniel deserved a better sendoff. Ricciardo didn't win a championship but he's achieved legend status with so many fans, I am one of them. Given the circumstances, I secretly wish that he joins Sauber to team up with Huuuuuuuuuulkenbeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrgggggg
Loved Danny Ric loooong before drive to survive. You hit the nail on the head, he is a genuine guy who loves the fans as much as he loves racing. Breaks my heart that he's done in F1 but the younger talent coming up is just superior to him (Lweis and Max take note). He will be sorely missed but I know I will watch whatever sport he drives it!
First race I ever watched was spa 2014… and it was such a dramatic race. Hamilton and Nico wipe each other out and Danny wins I’m an Aussie so I was hooked right away. If some other driver had won the race I would have thought that’s cool, but would never have ended up watching every single race since without Danny Ric.
Followed him back in his Formula Renault days when our awful Channel 10 Coverage of the F1 at stupid o'clock here in Australia would show his highlights before crossing over to the F1 and Webber hauling a crappy early RB to 10th.
This was simply one of the best mini-documentaries on F1. perfectly capturing all that Danny Ric stood for and brought to the paddock. Anyone getting into the sport in the future might not understand his legacy after looking at his numbers, but this video reveals all we love about the man. If by some chance Danny ever sees this video and reads these comments, Thank you for making F1 as entertaining as it has been over the years. You may not have won a Drivers championship, but you won all of our hearts. I'm a lifelong Ferrari fan, but I will not miss a non-Ferrari driver as much as you. "F1 has lost some of it's sparkle"
As a Perthite I can say we’re all proud of what Danny-Ric has achieved and how he’s gone about it, you can take the boy out of Perth but you can’t take Perth out of the boy! So many great memories, but one that sticks with me is him sitting in his team garage on a dodgy folding chair in his scarf and beanie watching his beloved Aussie rules footy team in the Grand Final, he wore his heart on his sleeve and he kept it real, he is a lovely bloke. Thanks for taking the time to put together such a great bio-video Will, you’ve more than repaid the selfie.
Thanks for this video, truly heartbroken for him and didn't get the recognition he deserved...but this video feels right. Thanks Will, we Australians appreciate it ❤
I'm gutted... Ok the performance wasn't there, but did he deserved to be sacked like a rookie crashing every week end ? He did so much for the popularity of the sport and RB, it's a shame that it have to end like this.
no he didn't deserve to be sacked like that at all, they treated him like he was logan sargeant 2.0 :( it also blows my mind that they booted him based on "performance" but somehow checo still has a seat
@@zonomena9153 that not what i asked at all. It should have been more respectful compared to what he did for this joke of a team, like end of his contract with a proper announcement rather than mid season like he was no better than De Vries, can you agree on that or you're just an asshole with a rage boner ? Damn this sport has become the pinacle of toxicity, between the teams and the spectators, not an ounce of respect.
@@sssaramo Checo has a seat because he has 144 points and came 2nd last year. Danny has 12 points and that's double what he got last year. More over, they have to give Lawson 5 race starts. This is a sport, Danny is washed and there's a top prospect who Redbull don't want to lose. Colapinto and Bearman were going to easily outscore Danny by the end of the season and they didn't even race for half of it.
RB went from sacking their driver in the top seat when they underperform to keeping him for 2 wasted seasons, and causing more problems for the junior team. They clearly got 2 better drivers in their arsenal in Tsunoda and Ricciardo. Tsunoda was performing well, and later Ricciardo since Canada. They kept Perez for so long that they risk loosing Lawson in the process, and this is the result. Shameful behavior from RB. No wonder most of their senior personnel left or are leaving
@@bipolarminddroppings Your kidding right. Albon and Gasly were dropped like rocks for not performing, yet they kept Perez around when he was going out in Q3 with the fastest car on the grid by a long shot. Perez is out here fighting Williams and Haas whilst Max is trying to win the championship.
@@bipolarminddroppings idk what you've been watching the past two seasons, but perez is the sole reason redbull aren't in the lead of the championship now.
@@bipolarminddroppingsnot to spoil anyone's party but in the past 12 racea Checo has scored only 40 points and also done over 3.5 million dollars worth of damage.
Should have kicked Perez, let Danny send it in a RedBull for a few races, and got someone better for that seat next season if they really need Lawson to have a seat. Constructors is lost anyway, and Checo has no chance of helping Max to a title.
If Daniel moves to NASCAR, would you consider covering that series as well. I honestly learned a lot about Indy Car from you and would love to learn about NASCAR.
Dani is a big part of why I started following F1, not that he’s my favourite driver but he’s just so loveable. A great character. However, the Daniel we saw towards the end was just not THAT Daniel, and, as harsh as it sounds, the old has to make way for the new. I hope he stays in F1 in a media role (maybe YT like Nico?). Now, I wish Liam all the best…
My running theory is he will be the new DC. The red bull pr guy that runs the older cars in TH-cam videos and show runs as well as being a tv pundit. Not sure what will happen with DC though
I've been a crazy Ricciardo fan since he first joined HRT. And yeah even I recognised that his time was done. But how it was done is what gutted me. Going into your final race without knowing whether he would have a seat at RB must have sucked. I'm glad they let him go for the fastest lap though. But for me it's not having that closure. Initially I was a Michael Schumacher fan and when he was leaving I knew and had time to grieve it. The same with Mark Webber, but with Dan it was just an X announcement. And it feels wrong. Thank you Daniel for the spectacular overtakes the amazing drives and the laughs. I will sorely miss you.
Thank you for the lovely Daniel Riccardo documentary. I remember Monaco, both of them. What a roller-coaster. Riccardo and Verstappen were really great teammates. He will be missed. 😔
It's incredible that 4 races ago, Ricciardo was tipped to join Red Bull, and now he is leaving F1 altogether. Like going from being a billionaire to being a beggar in the span of a few days. Without any bias, I am 80% convinced that Danny would have done a better job overall than Checo in the last 10 races. It does kind of seem that he is much more consistent when the car is also at least semi-competitive. Danny will be missed.
If I say I was in denial, it would be an understatement, for one side I'm glad for the Kiwi Lawson, the kid deserves a chance but on the other hand I'm sad for Danny, despite the results this season, he has been more constant in the VCARB tractor than some other drivers in objectively better cars, also there's the matter of strategies, the one time the team actually favored him on strategy, he ended P4 in a Sprint race, which says a lot about the nature of Ricciardo's results this season
I actually got really emotional during this video. I have so many memories growing up, watching Danny Ric become the driver we all know and love today, and seeing it all end like this is truly heartbreaking. Thank you, Daniel Ricciardo. We'll miss you.
It's rare to have such a great talent with such a great personality. He deserved a better ending, but he has already accomplished more than we could dream in 10 lifetimes. Best Wishes Daniel Riccardo !
I would've been fine with him being let go at the end of the year. What dissapoints me so much is not only how bad it was handled, but also how Danny and Nyck got axed so quick, yet Checo STILL has his seat. Checo's seat should've been taken by Danny or Yuki already
Thank you Will, a great send off for an inspiring and huge talent in the sport. You’ve done him justice in how good he was and what he tried to achieve coming back recently after his lows at McLaren. If only redbull showed him as much respect this past week.
why do people think danny deserved a kings goodbye? mf aint won a race in 3 years and stabbed redbull in the back, you remember???? if anything redbull gave him an opportunity that he didnt deserve at all whatsoever. lawson proved that he should have kept that seat last year, but again rb blessed danny one last time. danny got more than what he deserves and doesnt deserve anything else.
How TF on his last F1 race, "The Honey Badger" does more for Verstappen than Checo has "THE ENTIRE YEAR"....Yet he's booted???......It's clear that RedBull need their golden child unchallenged in order to progress........Max still can't handle "HARD PRESSURE" & it's hurting RedBull......
Will, this is 100% the best video you've ever done, and when you always make great videos that just says how good this video is. Thank you Will and of course thank you Daniel, we will miss you.... 🏎️🏁
Thank you Will!! We needed this.. I hope your love for Daniel doesn't go unnoticed. Keep up the great work you do in this channel. Even if I can't be a member of a patron (yet), I really appreciate your content.
This video gives me a theory in that just like how Vettel was never as good when the blown diffuser was taken away, Ricciardo can't drive the ground effect car as well as the previous generation. It's a shame, but I'm guessing that Red Bull is going to put Liam Lawson in the RB seat to see if he can replace Sergio Perez next year. If yes, then Lawson goes to Red Bull and Issac Hadjar goes to RB next year. If Lawson is a complete bomb, he's fired and replaced by Hadjar. If he's mid, then I have no clue what'll happen.
Nice tribute. He was my personal favourite. I wish the 2018 car was more reliable in the last half of the races - he may have topped Max that year. I hope he goes to INDYCAR !
I loved hearing your story about the encounter with Danny Ric at the promo event. It just shows what can be done to grow a fan base if the stars of the sport would put in an effort for the common fan, not the well off ones. Every fan has a story how they came to love something so much. I think yours is really cool!
I'm still hoping RBR drop Perez after the Mexican GP & give the final 4 races to Daniel to see if he's worthy of a 2025 seat while Lawson puts in his time at RB. It's not going to happen, but I can dream!
From the first day I saw his huge smile I became a DR fan and he has never once let me down. I think he is one of the special people we see only a few times in our lives and I will always follow him.
Great video mate. Hope Daniel scrolls across it with all his newly discovered free time. As a fellow DR fan though, you've done him proud by supporting him over all your videos. Big fan of your content, keep it up.
Given that he beat Verstappen in 2 of the 3 seasons, slapped Vettel, Hulkenberg and Ocon it's difficult to understand how it all went so horribly wrong. It's hard to believe too that only 4 years ago this is a guy who Ferrari overlooked for 2021 because they thought he'd cause Leclerc more problems than Sainz. I guess Cyril Abiteboul was right all along when he said that moving to McLaren would be a mistake. Now it's looking like not just a mistake but an absolute disaster. Given his personality and speed in those earlier years this is a shame for F1.
@fp1will thank you for this video. not only did you do danny some justice and give him a better goodbye than the grid did, but you gave all of his fans some desperately needed closure too. much love :)
Thank you Will too!! This is a great video and given the restrictions, you did a great job keeping it engaging with music and footage. Having said that, your voiceover is more than enough for me. Great job man! keep it up ❤❤❤
I like this style of video - the sad nature doesn't take away from the quality of production and development. Well done, I wish it could have been a happier event.
Will, this represents your finest work… many thanks for a fabulous tribute to a driver who will - at least for me - be sorely missed. He’s a legend, and so mate, are you.
He used to be great, real promise. I think his downfall was when it turned into a reality tv show for him, instead of just racing. Never really thought he was part of the elite, great seasons in 2014 and 2016... but he didn't have the killer mentality that I saw of the true greats. Raikkonen, Hamilton, even Vettel was a huge prick when he was young would've mowed down any teammate they had, Daniel though seemed like he always wanted to be good mates, vs be their worst enemy. Great personality but that's not a champion at this level. Daniel felt more like talent carried him rather than him being obsessed with winning. Great career, but he rubbed me the wrong way towards the end.
I wished that Daniel Ricciardo could have stayed to the end of the season and have a better send off. At least the media picked up what was about to happen and made the best of it for Daniel at Singapore. It was clear to me after the race at Singapore that Daniel was more than fine with retiring from F1, even if it was forced onto him. Daniel has indicated that he was keen to have a family but the F1 schedule didn’t allow for it. The F1 schedule is even more busy now when he made the comment. Daniel has been dating Heidi Berger (daughter of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger) for a while now, so I expect Daniel’s next adventure will allow him more free time for a family. Based on all accounts of the pranks that Gerhard got up to in F1, Daniel and Gerhard have been cast from the same casting mould. Due to NASCAR schedule, it will be too busy for his liking. Indycar or World Endurance Championship may appeal to Daniel. Another option for Daniel is media side of the F1 fence, especially that “Drive to Survive” made so popular in the US.
The way the paddock and fans rallied around the unexpected (arguable) situation was impressive, i think the start of the driver of the day tallies made even the clueless wize up. which makes RB behaviour all the more disgraceful.
I feel like shit because I didn’t get to watch it live(Singapore). He was my guy after Michael that I found a reason to get back into the sport in the turbo hybrid era. I saw the announcement earlier today and just couldn’t help but think, “damn so that’s how they’re going to do an 8x GP winner.” Thank you Daniel, I hope you find success in Indycar, NASCAR, or WEC/IMSA.
Man I’m going to miss this guy, he was so special on his day, an unbelievable talented driver, and even bigger personality, what a guy . F1 looses its biggest smile 😢
Great vid. Agree that the move to Renault in 2019 was reasonable given the treatment by RBR and the only move open at the time. Had he stayed at RBR in 2019/20 i suspect Max favouritism would have increased and Dan probably would gave left anyway before the car come good. My understanding is Ferrari conaidered Dan for the seat Sainz took in 2021.. maybe that would have been a different path.
It would be cool if he came to indycar and drive for prema since it’s going to be a new team for indycar for 2025, Logan Sargent & Daniel ricciardo for prema 2025 would be crazy lol
Nice one mate! 10 times better than RB's send off for an F1 Star!! I'm disgusted with them. We will all miss you Danny Ric! I WISH we could have CELEBRATED your Last Race!!
Thank you Daniel Ricciardo...
I'll miss you Danny. Even tho i only got 1 year of you racing, i won't forget that smile and laugh. Hope to see him in Indy or NASCAR in the future seeing how much he loves Dale Earnhardt and NASCAR

Nice tribute. He was my personal favourite. I wish the 2018 car was more reliable in the last half of the races - he may have topped Max that year. I hope he goes to INDYCAR !
I really hope Daniel gets to see this. He deserved this well thought send off. What a lovely video. Cheers mate!
Stunning. Perfectly encapsulates why he is so adored by everyone. It shouldn't have ended like it has. Well done as always Will.
Thanks!
Thank you man!!
I loved hearing your story about the encounter with Danny Ric at the promo event. It just shows what can be done to grow a fan base if the stars of the sport would put in an effort for the common fan, not the well off ones. Every fan has a story how they came to love something so much. I think yours is really cool!
I'm still hoping RBR drop Perez after the Mexican GP & give the final 4 races to Daniel to see if he's worthy of a 2025 seat while Lawson puts in his time at RB. It's not going to happen, but I can dream!
Thank you for doing what the Horn Dog wouldn’t. 💔
Appreciate it!
From the first day I saw his huge smile I became a DR fan and he has never once let me down. I think he is one of the special people we see only a few times in our lives and I will always follow him.
Singapore may have been a mid race, but atleast I got to see Daniel’s last race in person, so I’ll take it. Thank you Daniel 😢
NO WAY PERTH MOMENT 1:16
Great video mate. Hope Daniel scrolls across it with all his newly discovered free time. As a fellow DR fan though, you've done him proud by supporting him over all your videos. Big fan of your content, keep it up.
Excellent video. It was dust in my eye at the end. I swear.
Given that he beat Verstappen in 2 of the 3 seasons, slapped Vettel, Hulkenberg and Ocon it's difficult to understand how it all went so horribly wrong. It's hard to believe too that only 4 years ago this is a guy who Ferrari overlooked for 2021 because they thought he'd cause Leclerc more problems than Sainz. I guess Cyril Abiteboul was right all along when he said that moving to McLaren would be a mistake. Now it's looking like not just a mistake but an absolute disaster. Given his personality and speed in those earlier years this is a shame for F1.
Such a well put together video, excellent job Will! You’ve done the Honey-badger justice
Superb video, man, really well done!
And I’m crying again. As a fellow west Australian to Daniel, thank you Will. He will certainly be missed
@fp1will thank you for this video. not only did you do danny some justice and give him a better goodbye than the grid did, but you gave all of his fans some desperately needed closure too. much love :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Someone give Will a hug.
I am drinking Monster's now.
Lovely tribute! Thanks!❤
Thank you Will too!! This is a great video and given the restrictions, you did a great job keeping it engaging with music and footage. Having said that, your voiceover is more than enough for me.
Great job man! keep it up ❤❤❤
Simply AMAZING, both driver and video!!
I like this style of video - the sad nature doesn't take away from the quality of production and development. Well done, I wish it could have been a happier event.
Great video, mate. Well researched, well written, made me laugh. Loved it. Thank you.
Will, this represents your finest work… many thanks for a fabulous tribute to a driver who will - at least for me - be sorely missed. He’s a legend, and so mate, are you.
Appreciate it man!
He used to be great, real promise. I think his downfall was when it turned into a reality tv show for him, instead of just racing. Never really thought he was part of the elite, great seasons in 2014 and 2016... but he didn't have the killer mentality that I saw of the true greats. Raikkonen, Hamilton, even Vettel was a huge prick when he was young would've mowed down any teammate they had, Daniel though seemed like he always wanted to be good mates, vs be their worst enemy. Great personality but that's not a champion at this level. Daniel felt more like talent carried him rather than him being obsessed with winning. Great career, but he rubbed me the wrong way towards the end.
I wished that Daniel Ricciardo could have stayed to the end of the season and have a better send off. At least the media picked up what was about to happen and made the best of it for Daniel at Singapore. It was clear to me after the race at Singapore that Daniel was more than fine with retiring from F1, even if it was forced onto him.
Daniel has indicated that he was keen to have a family but the F1 schedule didn’t allow for it. The F1 schedule is even more busy now when he made the comment. Daniel has been dating Heidi Berger (daughter of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger) for a while now, so I expect Daniel’s next adventure will allow him more free time for a family. Based on all accounts of the pranks that Gerhard got up to in F1, Daniel and Gerhard have been cast from the same casting mould.
Due to NASCAR schedule, it will be too busy for his liking. Indycar or World Endurance Championship may appeal to Daniel. Another option for Daniel is media side of the F1 fence, especially that “Drive to Survive” made so popular in the US.
The way the paddock and fans rallied around the unexpected (arguable) situation was impressive, i think the start of the driver of the day tallies made even the clueless wize up.
which makes RB behaviour all the more disgraceful.
i'm genuinely so sad, he deserves so much better and this goodbye wasn't it. always been my favorite since his red bull days next to the other greats
I feel like shit because I didn’t get to watch it live(Singapore). He was my guy after Michael that I found a reason to get back into the sport in the turbo hybrid era. I saw the announcement earlier today and just couldn’t help but think, “damn so that’s how they’re going to do an 8x GP winner.”
Thank you Daniel, I hope you find success in Indycar, NASCAR, or WEC/IMSA.
2:27 this guy, aka multi WEC and Le Mans Champ, Brendon Hartley.
Hartley is a phenomenal driver in WEC and his F1 campaign was plagued with bad luck and the usual RB pressure of not developing their drivers
Man I’m going to miss this guy, he was so special on his day, an unbelievable talented driver, and even bigger personality, what a guy . F1 looses its biggest smile 😢
That was bloody brilliant, possibly your best video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done! Best one you have made
Thanks! 😃
Very nicely put together, thank you Will. And thank you Daniel Riccardo aka BDR decipher that one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Will. This was pleasantly enjoyable.
The first minute of this video just tells you, one of many reason why Ricciardo so loved by the F1 community,Fellow Driver, especially his fans ❤
Gonna miss you Danny Ric!
Shameful send-off though 😒
Great video mate!
Great vid.
Agree that the move to Renault in 2019 was reasonable given the treatment by RBR and the only move open at the time.
Had he stayed at RBR in 2019/20 i suspect Max favouritism would have increased and Dan probably would gave left anyway before the car come good.
My understanding is Ferrari conaidered Dan for the seat Sainz took in 2021.. maybe that would have been a different path.
This is a beautiful video homage docu to the Honeybadger, great work. and thanks Daniel for all the years of joy.
Many thanks!
Great video. Great story including your old photo 👍👍
Great video! thanks for the effort
My pleasure!
Bro this was phenomenal, great work. Thank you, and thanks Daniel for all you’ve done for F1.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video.. Thanks mate.
How more loved can you go out? Driver of the day, fastest lap, nearly universal admiration! Daniel did get to go out well!
Awesome video! Great to see some respect put on his name.
Glad you liked it!
Such a well-made video, nice work
Glad you liked it!
It would be cool if he came to indycar and drive for prema since it’s going to be a new team for indycar for 2025, Logan Sargent & Daniel ricciardo for prema 2025 would be crazy lol
Amazing vid. Thank you!
Bloody amazing video. Daniel will be sadly missed.
Great video as always mate!
Iam from Srilanka DR3 was the ne who introduced Formula 1 to my country, and he is the reason I have people who watch f1 around me
Great vid. A lot of work must have gone into that. Cheers.
And I have to add: I have never met an Australian I didn't like.
He still can join Indycar or whatever racing series he wants
Nice one mate! 10 times better than RB's send off for an F1 Star!! I'm disgusted with them. We will all miss you Danny Ric! I WISH we could have CELEBRATED your Last Race!!
Great work Will.Started as biography and then sarcastic Will crept back in.
