I feel '14 didn't just shape me and my approach from then on: it changed the level of overtaking from other guys in the sport as well. Not many people were doing that, coming from a long way back and trying big passing moves.

Daniel Ricciardo

I'm in this sport to win but win by being the best, not by being lucky.

Daniel Ricciardo

If I win the title, I want to know I was the best guy that year, and to be the best, you've got to go against the best.

Daniel Ricciardo

I like having as many team-mates as possible. It's great, because the more people you can learn off, the better I think it will make you as a driver.

Daniel Ricciardo

We know - relationships in this sport, it's very hard to have a really great relationship.

Daniel Ricciardo

For my family, it was quite emotional because it has always been a dream of mine to be in Formula 1. For them, to see it come true was quite a special feeling.

Daniel Ricciardo

Every time I get in the car, I'm just focused on being the fastest, trying to win the race, trying to get pole.

Daniel Ricciardo

I think, in general, the sport's frustrating because I think it's one of only a few sports in the world where you've got so many other variables. Not taking anything away from the winner, but the best man doesn't always win. I think part of that makes the sport really exciting, and part of it makes it heartbreaking.

Daniel Ricciardo

I like a good protein and fat breakfast, so avocado, bacon, eggs, and some veggies.

Daniel Ricciardo

With racing, there's not one thing you need to be really strong at, it's a combination. You need a good base of cardio, good core, good neck strength. I think core and neck are the most important, but it's certainly not my favourite. Neck training is pretty boring.

Daniel Ricciardo

Good overtaking is important to me. There are a lot of quick maths involved. I will prepare from the corner before, thinking, 'If I exit this way, and the driver ahead of me is in a certain position, then I'll go for it.' If he is not where I hope he will be, then I won't pull the trigger. If he is, my decision has already been made.

Daniel Ricciardo

There have been times in my career when people thought I was a pushover, especially as they saw me as this smiley guy.

Daniel Ricciardo

It's a complex sport; you're always learning.

Daniel Ricciardo

I'm sure everyone has a cool story behind how they got into Formula One, but, for me, Perth, you know, not only in Australia is it detached, but it's detached from the whole world.

Daniel Ricciardo

Having the chance to be able to fight for something really meaningful - races, championships - that's the absolute priority.

Daniel Ricciardo

I've definitely got better over the years at conserving my energy in pre-season - at knowing what to focus on and what to let go.

Daniel Ricciardo

I think once you get into the routine of race weekends, and there's more of a structure, it gets a bit easier.

Daniel Ricciardo

I love coming to America to race. Maybe that's because I'm a big fan of NASCAR as well.

Daniel Ricciardo

It's easy to get into the competition of F1, and you are never going to win every race even though you want to. So when you're not winning, you want to win, so you're not that happy. But you have to look at the big perspective, and I am very fortunate to be one of 22 in the world to do this.

Daniel Ricciardo

I know that I'll joke around to the last minute I get in the car. But once the helmet's on - it's sort of a cliche, but it's true - it's quite symbolic that that is 'go time,' and I'm ready to have some fun and be bad while I do it.
