Australian F1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/] confirmed his move to McLaren last month. He’ll be joining the Woking-based outfit for the 2021 season. However, Ricciardo is still very much a Renault driver for the upcoming season, which is all set to begin on the 5th of July. The enforced break due to the pandemic has given people time to think and look at their lives from a new perspective. The same also holds true for the Australian. DANIEL RICCIARDO BELIEVES THE ENFORCED BREAK HAS LENGTHENED HIS CAREER Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/DanielRicciardoPA2-700x367-1.jpg] Speaking to the Spanish newspaper, Marca, Ricciardo said [https://www.marca.com/motor/formula1/2020/06/09/5edf37a2268e3edc238b45c2.html], “We travel a lot ….and you just come in and go and go and go. But sometimes, you really don’t have a chance to stop, and somehow it was nice to be forced to stop. It was nice not to be in pressurized booths of planes all the time and all that sort of thing. Probably from a performance standpoint, Maybe it has given me a couple of more years in my career. So I see positive things in what has happened.” This is good news for Australian F1 fans and even F1 fans in general. Ricciardo has always been a positive and happy go lucky kind of character. It’s good to know that we’ll be seeing him for a few more years. It also potentially means, that we will get to see a lot more of the much anticipated ‘new bromance’ between him and Lando Norris. That is, assuming that all things stay constant and either of them doesn’t move away from McLaren in the next 3 years at least. However, for 2020, Ricciardo will be fully focused on Renault. He still feels that he owes them a lot and will be hoping to better his points tally from last year. He will want to leave the French outfit on a high, so if Renault can give him a good car, don’t rule out a podium finish for the man from down under. 

Australian F1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo feels that the long enforced break due to
the COVID-19 pandemic could increase the longevity of his career.

<h2>Renault: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
The Renault F1 team first began their F1 operations in 1977 and even supplied engines from 1983. During their first stint in the sport, they won two F1 World Championships, both with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>. They left the sport after the 2011 season, finding their way back in 2016.

Another significant event occurred when Renault debuted, namely the introduction of turbo engines. Renault's 2020 driver lineup consists of former Red Bull star Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon.

Renault's iconic yet modern yellow and black livery is set to change from 2021 when the team rebrands itself to Alpine F1 with a possible livery change reminiscent of the French tricolor. Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso will drive for the team in 2021.

The Renault logo is synonymous with both its road cars and racing team alike. The French team's logo consists of a <a href="https://group.renault.com/en/news-on-air/news/120-years-of-brand-identity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">diamond</a>.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Renault?s first win and first podium both came at the same race. Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the 1979 French Grand Prix, and Rene Arnoux took third.

Their results were very intermittent with numerous retirements, and they withdrew as a team after 1985.

The Renault F1 team would return to the fray in 2002, taking over from the Benetton team. Renault did not start winning again until 2003, with a solitary win from Fernando Alonso.

Renault F1 went another year winless in 2004 before the dynamic changed dramatically in 2005, when Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella dominated the proceedings and took the title. The two repeated the same feat in 2006, with Alonso finishing no lower than fifth during the season.

So far, Renault have bagged 35 race wins, and 103 podiums in 400 race starts. The team has amassed 1,777 points over the course of their storied stint in F1.

The team pulled out yet again in 2011 and rejoined in 2016. Their drivers for that year were Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer. When Magnussen left for Haas, Nico Hulkenberg jumped ship from Force India to the French team.

Later, when Palmer?s contract was terminated, Carlos Sainz was loaned to them by Toro Rosso. Hulkenberg and Sainz would race together for the 2018 season until Sainz moved to McLaren for 2019.

In yet another sequence of driver shuffling, Renault's 2021 lineup will consist of Esteban Ocon and the returning Fernando Alonso.

Alonso will replace Daniel Ricciardo, who is McLaren bound for the 2021 season.
<h2>When did Renault last win in F1?</h2>
Renault's last win in F1 remains the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix, won by Fernando Alonso.

<h2>Best Moments of Renault F1 team</h2>

<h2>Which F1 teams use Renault engines?</h2>
Once one of the most sought-after engine suppliers on the grid, Renault currently supply engines to McLaren alone. However, with McLaren set to switch to Mercedes power in 2021, Renault won't have any customer teams next season.
<h2><strong>Renault?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
Renault are currently <a href="https://www.renaultsport.com/-formule-1-partners-.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">partnered</a> by DP World, Castrol, Infiniti, and RCI Banking Services as their main sponsors. Their other sponsors include Mapfre, Dupont Microsoft, Alpinestars, Boeing, Pirelli, Siemens, and more.
<h2>Renault's charities and foundations</h2>
Responding to the UK government's call for assistance, several F1 teams joined hands in the fight against COVID-19. Renault were one of the seven F1 teams that helped in manufacturing required medical equipment, crucial in the fight against the virus.

The initiative was titled 'Project Pitlane" and even saw Renault <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-renault-horner-unthinkable-scenario/4787716/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">working</a> side by side with Red Bull at the latter's Milton-Keynes factory in the UK.

<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'.

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.
