“When I’m driving to and from Renault F1 in Oxfordshire, I can choose from a pool of cars. If I’m chilling with my music, I might take the keys to a Renault Kadjar, which is an SUV. If I want some fun, then the Mégane R.S. is really grippy.” Ricciardo said. Megane R.S. was another one of the fanatic’s purchases for the personal collection.

Ricciardo also drove Aston Martin around the streets of Beverly Hills. The racer clicked a selfie while driving top down in the luxurious car. He is also planning to buy his own Aston Valkyrie to add to the collection.
