Love on the fast lane, speed, thrills, and… superstitions? Sounds like an F1 pit stop, doesn’t it? Like many athletes, Daniel Ricciardo had a certain superstition. He adhered to a self-imposed ‘s*x ban’ during the racing season, a common practice amongst competitors in various sports. It’s an old wives’ tale that such abstinence enhances performance on the field, or in this case, the track. But guess what? Ricciardo crushed that superstition into a million little bits, and who do we have to thank for that? You got it, Heidi Berger!

Daniel Ricciardo’s life has been quite a roller-coaster ride. From his days as a test driver for Toro Rosso to filling the big shoes left by Mark Webber at Red Bull, Ricciardo’s journey in F1 has been a testament to his grit and determination. Even after his surprising exit from McLaren and an abrupt shift to AlphaTauri, replacing the sacked Nyck De Vries, Ricciardo has managed to keep his spirits high and steering steady. Last year, when he was dropped by his team, it was Berger, his rock, who held him together.

In a candid interview on The Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard, Ricciardo made a surprising revelation. He confessed to abandoning his long-standing s*x ban, according to Express UK, Ricciardo disclosed, “I used to, but not anymore. I went against my rules obviously once and I was probably even better on Sunday, so it’s all good. It’s easy to have a lack of accountability if you’ve got a superstition. It’s kind of like an excuse for something to go wrong. I might brush off the reality of why I had a bad race because I didn’t put my sock on the right way.”

And as for Daniel’s performance on the track? Well, seems like his new-found belief is indeed reaping incredible results! After all, who needs a ‘s*x ban’ when you can race ahead with love? Heidi Berger’s influence on Ricciardo’s life has been profound, the couple went Instagram official in 2022 while holidaying in the USA, and since then, they’ve been inseparable.

Who is Daniel Ricciardo’s girlfriend – Heidi Berger?

Heidi Berger is no stranger to the racing industry, but not as a driver herself. She is the daughter of the renowned F1 driver, Gerhard Berger. Despite not being behind the wheel, Heidi has been deeply immersed in the world of motorsport since her early days. But this 26-year-old Austrian beauty isn’t the one to bask in the shadows of her father’s glory. Instead, she’s carving out a niche of her own.

Heidi has showcased her acting prowess in various television shows, including “A Única Mulher,” “Onde Está Elisa?,” and “Trakehnerblut.” Her passion for travel and adventure resonates deeply with Daniel Ricciardo, as the couple shares glimpses of their exotic getaways with their adoring fans on Instagram.
