Daniel Ricciardo was born in Australia, but his personality and passion make him as much an American as he is an Australian. Over the years, he has explored his American side, doing all sorts of American stuff, which has been an absolute treat for all of us! We have seen him in a NASCAR seat, horse riding, and whatnot. All this crossover between F1 and America during the weekends, as we have seen in Miami and Texas, truly makes it a beautiful amalgamation of different cultures. This time, Daniel Ricciardo’s return to America is a bit different.

This time, he had come to New York for the RB19 launch. And though he’d be missing his dream to compete in the Las Vegas GP due to the unavailability of a good seat, his dream of watching the Super Bowl, between Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, would be coming true next week as he extends his resting time away from main F1 action!

Speaking about racing outside of Red Bull, the Honey Badger revealed, “I don’t want to say I’m sure, but I think there would be some flexibility if there was something I really wanted to do. And if Red Bull participated, it might be a win-win situation,” as quoted by Motorsport-Total.
