<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

[caption id="attachment_2281676" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2281676 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-10-22T155101Z_1883919512_UP1EJAM1810EM_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-USA.jpg" alt="Daniel Ricciardo" width="1920" height="1400" /> Formula One F1 - United States Grand Prix - Circuit of the Americas, Austin, Texas, U.S. - October 22, 2023 AlphaTauri's Daniel Ricciardo is pictured wearing a cowboy hat ahead of the race REUTERS/Brian Snyder[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Career Timeline</h2>
One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Toro Rosso</a> alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>. He remained with the team after Vettel's departure in 2015, this time teaming up with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Daniil Kvyat</a>. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place.

In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn't be extending his contract with the French outfit.

Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari - given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP.

After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Personal Life</h2>
For someone who's quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel's father is Giuseppe “Joe” Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel's sister's name is Michelle. Daniel's father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at the Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.

There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6754573/Daniel-Ricciardo-29-denies-dating-Jessica-Gomes-34-admits-rumours-positive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a <a href="https://people.com/who-is-heidi-berger-daniel-ricciardo-8349982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship with Heidi Berger</a>. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera <em>A Única Mulher</em>.

Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-nlf-afc-news-alphatauri-news-how-did-daniel-ricciardo-and-josh-allen-become-friends-what-nfl-team-does-the-f1-star-support/">Buffalo Bills is his favorite team</a>. He owns a Bills jersey and is great friends with Josh Allen. Ricciardo also has an impressive tattoo collection, which is pretty ironic, considering his fear of needles.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium.

While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo's 2019 lid, with the words <em>"Stop Being Them"</em> caught everyone's attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being 'All good, all ways'.

During the rest of his career, he took five more wins. They were in Malaysia 2016, Azerbaijan 2017, China 2018, Monaco 2018, and the latest victory arrived at Monza 2021. His highest position in the Drivers' Championship has been third in 2014 and 2016.

In a career spanning nearly a decade, Ricciardo has competed in 214 Grand Prix weekends, winning eight races and clinching 32 podiums. The Australian has scored 1326 points in his F1 career till the end of the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo: Net Worth</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/daniel-ricciardo/?sh=15ac52677fe2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, Ricciardo had an annual salary of $27 million and earned an additional $2 million through endorsements as of 2020.

In August 2018, Daniel Ricciardo signed a two-year contract with Renault that pays him an astonishing <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6025373/After-new-31M-deal-Renault-does-make-Daniel-Ricciardo-Australias-richest-sports-star.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$35 million</a> per year. Under his previous contract with Red Bull, he was making $6 million per year. In 2021, with McLaren, Ricciardo became the 7th highest-earning F1 driver on the grid, with a salary of $17 million per year. However, over the 2021 season, Ricciardo has <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634?pos=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> taken a step back with a salary of $15 million.

In November 2018, Daniel spent <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7642301/Daniel-Ricciardos-lavish-13million-Hollywood-mansion.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$13 million</a> to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Car Collection</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo boasts of a unique collection of cars. Being one of the best-paid drivers on the grid, Ricciardo has splurged the cash on exquisite sports cars. He owns a McLaren 720s which was a gift to himself after his win at the Italian GP in 2021. The McLaren 720s comes with a price tag of $299,000. The Honey Badger's garage also houses a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000. His 599 horsepower-producing Porsche has a white metallic finish to it. Additionally, the Australian owns a 2016 Aston Martin Vantage worth $300,000 and has a 5.2 liter AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Another Aston and Ricciardo's prized possession is a $2.6 million Aston Martin Valkyrie which is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 and produces an astonishing 1100 hp. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. However, the most special car for Riccardo is his $7,540 Toyota Hilux which was gifted to him by his parents in 2006.

<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso 2022: </strong><strong>Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Fernando Alonso has been established as one of the best drivers of his generation. The Spaniard is one driver who should never be underestimated. Even in a car that was not up to the mark, he would wring out every ounce of performance and put it in places where it should not be.

He made his debut in 2001 driving for Minardi. It was also the same year that <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimi Raikkonen</a> made his debut. In 2002, he joined forces with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Renault</a> in the capacity of a test driver before graduating to a race seat in 2003.

After winning two back-to-back championships, he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">McLaren</a>. However, he returned to Renault a year later. In 2010, he joined <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ferrari</a> and raced for them until 2014. Finally, he returned to McLaren in 2015 and stayed with them until his retirement in 2018.

Shortly after retiring, Fernando Alonso and NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb0pTpqGkpU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">swapped rides</a> as part of a special one-off event. The double World Champion drove Johnson's Chevrolet Camaro by Hendrick Motorsports while Johnson took to the wheel of Alonso's 2018 McLaren F1 car.

However, Alonso's 'retirement' from Formula 1 didn't last very long. In July 2020, Alonso announced his return to the pinnacle of motorsport with Renault turned Alpine in 2021. Coming full circle, Alonso rejoined the French team, having completed 2 previous stints with the Enstone outfit.

The Spaniard partnered Esteban Ocon at the Renault-powered Alpine Racing over the 2021 season. Alonso went on to clinch his first podium in years at the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix.

He will stay with the team until the end of 2022 while his teammate extended his stay until the end of 2024.

<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Fernando Alonso is a double-World Champion with the Renault F1 team. His maiden podium came in 2003 in what was just his second race for Renault at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Later that year, the maiden win would follow at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Grand_Prix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hungarian Grand Prix</a>. He bagged a few more podiums in 2004. And in 2005, he wrestled the championship away from<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Michael Schumacher</a>. That year, he won by a hefty 21 points ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, and Michael Schumacher was held off by a 60-point void.

2006 was a bit closer between him and Michael, with 13 points separating them. In 2007, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lewis Hamilton</a> happened, and it was a tumultuous year for Alonso and his new team, McLaren.

Beyond that year, the win well gradually began to dry up for the Spaniard. He only picked up 13 wins across 10 years. The 2013 Spanish Grand Prix was his last win for Ferrari and in Formula One.

In an F1 career spanning 17 years, Alonso started 322 Grand Prix, winning 32 races and clinching 97 podiums in the process. He also racked up 1937 points.

It's no secret that Alonso is aiming for the 'triple crown' in motorsport. The triple crown involves winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500.

Alonso has triumphed in Monaco and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Spaniard is keen to add another feather to his cap with a win at the Indy500.

Sadly, he's been unlucky so far. In his first attempt in 2017, Alonso retired from the race, having led the race for a commendable 27 laps. In 2019, Alonso failed to qualify for the event following a series of issues, which weren't entirely of his own making. He competed in the 2020 event with Arrow McLaren SP but hardly made an impression as he qualified P26 and reached home in P21.

Fernando Alonso

Formula One F1 &#8211; Qatar Grand Prix &#8211; Losail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar &#8211; November 21, 2021 Third placed Alpine&#8217;s Fernando Alonso celebrates on the podium with champagne REUTERS/Thaier Al-Sudani Fernando Alonso 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Fernando Alonso has been established as one of the best drivers of his generation. The Spaniard is one driver who should never be underestimated. Even in a car that was not up to the mark, he would wring out every ounce of performance and put it in places where it should not be. He made his debut in 2001 driving for Minardi. It was also the same year that Kimi Raikkonen made his debut. In 2002, he joined forces with Renault in the capacity of a test driver before graduating to a race seat in 2003. After winning two back-to-back championships, he moved to McLaren. However, he returned to Renault a year later. In 2010, he joined Ferrari and raced for them until 2014. Finally, he returned to McLaren in 2015 and stayed with them until his retirement in 2018. Shortly after retiring, Fernando Alonso and NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson swapped rides as part of a special one-off event. The double World Champion drove Johnson&#8217;s Chevrolet Camaro by Hendrick Motorsports while Johnson took to the wheel of Alonso&#8217;s 2018 McLaren F1 car. However, Alonso&#8217;s &#8216;retirement&#8217; from Formula 1 didn&#8217;t last very long. In July 2020, Alonso announced his return to the pinnacle of motorsport with Renault turned Alpine in 2021. Coming full circle, Alonso rejoined the French team, having completed 2 previous stints with the Enstone outfit. The Spaniard partnered Esteban Ocon at the Renault-powered Alpine Racing over the 2021 season. Alonso went on to clinch his first podium in years at the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix. He will stay with the team until the end of 2022 while his teammate extended his stay until the end of 2024. READ MORE- Who Has Fernando Alonso Dated? A List of His Girlfriends From the Past Fernando Alonso: Stats and On-track Achievements Fernando Alonso is a double-World Champion with the Renault F1 team. His maiden podium came in 2003 in what was just his second race for Renault at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Later that year, the maiden win would follow at the Hungarian Grand Prix. He bagged a few more podiums in 2004. And in 2005, he wrestled the championship away from Michael Schumacher. That year, he won by a hefty 21 points ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, and Michael Schumacher was held off by a 60-point void. 2006 was a bit closer between him and Michael, with 13 points separating them. In 2007, Lewis Hamilton happened, and it was a tumultuous year for Alonso and his new team, McLaren. Beyond that year, the win well gradually began to dry up for the Spaniard. He only picked up 13 wins across 10 years. The 2013 Spanish Grand Prix was his last win for Ferrari and in Formula One. In an F1 career spanning 17 years, Alonso started 322 Grand Prix, winning 32 races and clinching 97 podiums in the process. He also racked up 1937 points. It&#8217;s no secret that Alonso is aiming for the &#8216;triple crown&#8217; in motorsport. The triple crown involves winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500. Alonso has triumphed in Monaco and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Spaniard is keen to add another feather to his cap with a win at the Indy500. Sadly, he&#8217;s been unlucky so far. In his first attempt in 2017, Alonso retired from the race, having led the race for a commendable 27 laps. In 2019, Alonso failed to qualify for the event following a series of issues, which weren&#8217;t entirely of his own making. He competed in the 2020 event with Arrow McLaren SP but hardly made an impression as he qualified P26 and reached home in P21.

(Photo by Mark Thompson/Getty Images) Fernando Alonso: 2022 Net Worth Fernando&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be worth $240 million. His annual salary in his final F1 season with McLaren was a whopping $33 million. Despite staying away from F1 for 2 whole seasons, he received a king&#8217;s welcome at Alpine, as the Spaniard enjoyed a salary of $25M in 2021, which also rated him as the third highest-paid driver on the grid. As of 2022, Alonso will earn $20M per year and is likely to extend his Alpine F1 contract at least until the end of 2023. He won the Sports Prince of Asturias Award in 2005.

<h3><strong>Valtteri Bottas 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas made his F1 debut with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Williams</a> in 2013. He would go on to race for them until the 2016 season. Suddenly, in the wake of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nico-rosberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nico Rosberg's</a> shock retirement, the Finn found himself drafted to Mercedes forthwith.

Bottas is on course to completing his 5th season for Mercedes in 2021. However, after a rather bitter-sweet campaign with the Brackley outfit, Bottas decided to head back to the mid-field in 2022; The Finn replaced Kimi Raikkonen at Alfa Romeo.

<h3><b>Valtteri Bottas: Stats &amp; On-Track Achievements</b></h3>
He scored his first set of points at the 2013 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Grand_Prix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">United States Grand Prix</a> with an 8th place finish. He then followed it up with his maiden podium in Austria 2014 coupled with two back-to-back podiums in Silverstone and Hockenheim.

The top step of the podium beckoned in 2017 at the Russian Grand Prix, his first of 10 wins in his entire F1 career so far. However, he underwent a dry spell in 2018 without reaching the top step at all. He came close in Azerbaijan, but a heartbreaking puncture rained all over his parade.

In 2019, he was able to match Lewis Hamilton in the early part of the season. While his win counter dried up a little over the remainder of the season, he was still quick enough to keep pace. Despite not clinching the World Championship, Bottas had his best year in F1 in 2019, winning 4 Grand Prix. However, he was back to playing the supporting role to Hamilton in 2020 and 2021 amidst rival threats from Max Verstappen.

Now, after years of playing the role of a wingman, Bottas is finally starting to show glimpses of his true pace at Alfa Romeo.

Bottas' helmet is pretty synonymous with most F1 fans these days. The Finn's lid features a dark background with splashes of white and blue to accentuate his Finnish background. Interestingly, Valtteri's helmet is non-symmetrical, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPgfq4xReN4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">which is the style he prefers</a>.

Bottas is <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4009772/valtteri-bottas-girlfriend-tiffany-cromwell-f1-wife-emilia-mercedes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">currently dating Australian road cyclist Tiffany Cromwell</a>. The Finn was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilia_Pikkarainen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously married</a> to Finnish professional swimmer Emilia Pikkarainen for 3 years before calling it quits in late 2019.

He then followed it up with his maiden podium in Austria 2014 coupled with two back-to-back podiums in Silverstone and Hockenheim.

However, he was back to playing the supporting role to Hamilton in 2020 and 2021 amidst rival threats from Max Verstappen. Now, after years of playing the role of a wingman, Bottas is finally starting to show glimpses of his true pace at Alfa Romeo. Bottas&#8217; helmet is pretty synonymous with most F1 fans these days.
