Red Bull team boss Christian Horner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Horner] did not mince his words when talking about Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/]. He believes that the former Red Bull driver moved to Renault [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/] to avoid a fight with his ex-teammate Max Verstappen. When Ricciardo announced the move in 2018, it stunned many in the paddock, including his Red Bull teammates. However, the Australian F1 driver justified himself, saying that it was time for a change of scenery. The 29-year old has penned a two-year deal with his new team. Now, it seems that early results at pre-season testing have left the driver feeling positive about the move. The upcoming Netflix documentary Drive to Survive highlights this as one of many subjects to cover. There was even an interview with the Red Bull boss who bared his soul when speaking of Ricciardo. Red Bull [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1022.6666666666666x767__origin__0x0_Christian_Horner1-700x367.jpg]Christian Horner ‘Is he (Ricciardo) making the right career choice? My assumption is that he is running from a fight (with Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/]),’ mused Horner. During the course of the last two seasons, Rising star Verstappen has had the measure of Ricciardo. All this was despite the fact that the former has been prone to make mistakes and let his emotions get the better of him. Ricciardo took a stab at Verstappen earlier with regard to this behaviour. This was especially when referring to his new Renault teammate Nico Hülkenberg [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nico-hulkenberg/]. The Aussie was also relieved at reclaiming his position as the younger driver on the team. ‘I think (Hulkenberg) having done this so many years, I think that helps … There’s less risk of someone losing their mind,’ he said. ‘I think the way everyone is engaging with me has been positive and they are certainly trying to draw as much as they can out of me and to also see if Nico and myself are on the same page,’ Ricciardo explained. Renault technical director Nick Chester was all praises for Ricciardo’s constructive feedback when developing the new car. ‘He is clear about what he wants from the car. He has fitted straight in, and his feedback is quite similar to Nico. So it makes it easy to set the car up.’ Daniel Ricciardo [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2019-02-23-at-8.33.40-PM.png]Daniel Ricciardo 

The Red Bull Honda team pulled no punches when referring to their former driver,
Daniel Ricciardo and criticised his decision to move to Renault

<h2>Red Bull: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
The Red Bull team made their official F1 debut back in 2005. However, the origin of the team themselves can be traced back to 1997. At that time, they were known as the Stewart Racing team, a team owned by F1 legend and triple World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart.

[caption id="attachment_495654" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-495654" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201229114122/2020-12-13T134329Z_1480797127_UP1EGCD124HZO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="Red Bull's Max Verstappen leading the pack during the 2020 Abu Dhabi GP" width="1920" height="1120" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Red Bull's Max Verstappen in action during the race Pool via REUTERS/Giuseppe Cacace[/caption]

He sold the team to the American company, Ford, who rebranded the team to Jaguar Racing. The iconic British manufacturer would race in the sport until the end of the 2004 season. In the following year, Red Bull took up the reins. Though they were, at best, a midfield team in their early days, in 2009, the dynamic shifted completely.

Red Bull?s drivers for the 2021 season are <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/">Sergio Perez</a>. Perez takes the seat from Alex Albon, who is the new test driver for the team.
<h2><strong>Red Bull: On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
They enjoyed a fairly strong start to their debut season when David Coulthard finished fourth in Australia. A year later, he bagged a maiden podium at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix. A few more intermittent podiums followed until 2009, when the team bagged their first win, courtesy of Sebastian Vettel.

That year, the team amassed six wins and finished second in the Championship. Then came the magnum opus, four Drivers' and Constructors' titles on the trot, all thanks to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

Red Bull's dominant run in F1 ended with the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1. While the team still clinch the odd pole or win, they are yet to replicate their supremacy from the early 2010s.

As of September 2020, the team had 64 race wins, 182 podiums, and four Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in F1. The team has entered 304 races and amassed over a massive tally of 5043.5 points.
<h2>Does Red Bull have two F1 teams?</h2>
Part of what makes Red Bull such a unique F1 entity is their connection to Scuderia AlphaTauri. AlphaTauri, formerly known as Toro Rosso, is the Austrian outfit's Italian sister team.

Red Bull Racing doesn't necessarily 'own' AlphaTauri. Technically, both teams are owned by the famed drinks company - Red Bull GmbH. The Austrian company's founder - Dietrich Mateschitz, purchased Red Bull (formerly known as Jaguar), followed by Toro Rosso (formerly known as Minardi), as part of a collaboration with former F1 driver Gerhard Berger.

Unofficially, AlphaTauri functions as a proving ground for Red Bull's younger drivers who have the potential to step up and drive for Red Bull Racing.
<h2>How much did Red Bull spend on F1?</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reports</a>, the team spent $335 million in their F1 ventures for the 2019 season.
<h2>How much does Red Bull earn from F1?</h2>
As a reward for its efforts, the Milton-Keynes based outfit received approximately <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$335 million</a> in prize money for the 2019 season. The Austrian outfit did not report a healthy profit, but thankfully, it wasn't a loss.

The FOM split from the $335 million is reportedly $150 million (including bonuses).
<h2>What does Aston Martin do for Red Bull?</h2>
In late 2017, the team announced Aston Martin as the team's title sponsor as part of a technical partnership. The Milton-Keynes outfit have worked in close collaboration with Aston Martin to produce the hyper-car, Valkyrie.

<em>"The relationship between Aston Martin and The Team began in 2016 after the two companies combined cutting edge F1 technology and Aston Martin's signature sports car design to produce a ground breaking hypercar,"</em> reads a <a href="https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/driving-future-innovation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statement</a> from Red Bull.

In early 2020, the team announced that they would be ending their title partnership with Aston Martin following the 2020 F1 season. However, the Austrian outfit will work with the British manufacturer in delivering its hyper-car collaboration.
<h2>Who owns Red Bull Racing?</h2>
The F1 team are owned by the parent company and famed drinks brand- Red Bull GmbH. Red Bull was founded by Dietrich Mateschitz and Chaleo Yoovidhya. Currently, Mateschitz and Chalerm Yoovidhya own the brand.
<h2><strong>Red Bull?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
The team's title sponsor for 2020 is British car manufacturer, Aston Martin. Team partners <a href="https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">include</a> Rauch, Puma, Tag Heuer, W66, DITA, Pirelli, MyWorld, Piquadro, Iris, and AlphaTauri.

<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.

Formula One F1 &#8211; Tuscan Grand Prix &#8211; Mugello, Scarperia e San Piero, Italy &#8211; Renault&#8217;s Daniel Ricciardo in action during the race Pool via REUTERS/Bryn Lennon 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&#8217;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. When did Renault last win in F1? Renault&#8217;s last win in F1 remains the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix, won by Fernando Alonso.

<h2><strong>Christian Horner: 2021 Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Christian Horner is the present team boss of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/">Aston Martin Red Bull team</a>. The Briton has been with the team since their debut in 2005.

Ahead of his career with the Milton-Keynes based outfit, Horner functioned in the world of Formula 3000. He retired from racing at 25, under his own discretion, considering his speed. Horner let himself focus on developing the Arden team, for whom he had prior raced.
<h2><strong>On-track?</strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Admittedly, Horner was unsuccessful in the racing scene. He recorded the highest position of 6th in 1997 with the Arden team.

After retiring from racing, Horner signed Viktor Maslov and Marc Goossens in the 1999 FIA F3000 season. Arden also competed in Italian F3000 in the year 2000, winning 3 races and finishing second in the Championship.

<h2>Christian Horner in Red Bull</h2>
It wasn't long before Horner knocked on the doors of Formula One. He entered discussions with Eddie Jordan regarding buying the Jordan Grand Prix; however, those talks fell flat. In 2004, Red Bull purchased the Jaguar F1 Team to become Red Bull Racing.

In January 2005, Horner was appointed to lead the team, effectively recording his name in the history books as the youngest Team Principal. Under him, drivers David Coulthard and Christian Klien finished 4th and 7tj in Australia, scoring 34 points in the season.

He also played a key role in recruiting McLaren technical guru, Adrian Newey. Newey was later announced as the team's Chief Technical Officer in November 2005.

2006 was a transitional year, and though the car was unreliable, it grabbed a?maiden podium finish at the?<a title="Monaco Grand Prix" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco_Grand_Prix">Monaco Grand Prix</a>. In utmost happiness, Christian Horner jumped into a swimming pool, one of his most iconic moments to date.

The team ranked 2nd in the 2009 Constructors' Championship with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. The racers achieved 2nd and 4th position, respectively, in the Drivers' Championship title race. In addition, they bagged 6 titles altogether.

In 2010, the team won their first Constructors' Championship with one race to spare. Sebastian Vettel won the Drivers' Championship title at the last race of the season, becoming the youngest World Champion.

At 36, Horner was the youngest Team Principal to have won a Formula 1 Constructors' Championship, forging his name in the record books yet again.

In 2011, the team won their second Constructors' Championship with three races to spare.

Sebastian Vettel became the world's youngest champion twice. Soon, Vettel grabbed 2 more titles for the Austrian outfit.
<h2>Christain Horner: 2021 Net Worth</h2>
Horner holds an honorary rank of an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). He received the award in 2013.

The Red Bull Team Principal reportedly holds a <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/christian-horner-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">net worth</a> of $50 million and brings home a salary of $10 million annually.
<h2>Best Moments of Christian Horner</h2>

<h2><strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong></h2>
On the account of philanthropy, Christian Horner presently holds the rank of Ambassador in the Wings For Life Foundation.

The primary aim of the foundation is to raise awareness regarding spinal cord injury. In addition, funding the foundation?s crucial research into finding a cure is the other motto.

<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>

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.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.
