Ad-free F1 pod: How Daniel Ricciardo will be remembered in F1

We reflect on Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 legacy in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Special guest Michael Lamonato joins Ben Anderson and host Edd Straw to discuss the reaction in Australia to Ricciardo being replaced by Liam Lawson, and what's been learned from what Red Bull's Helmut Marko and Lawson himself have revealed about the process. 

We then delve into Ricciardo's post-Red Bull career, explaining why his Renault stint shouldn't be lumped in with his McLaren and RB struggles, as well as the limitations that were exposed in his final seasons. 

Ricciardo's peaks are also discussed, particularly in terms of the strengths that made him one of the best in the middle stages of the second decade of the 21st century. And we also ask whether Ricciardo was unfortunate not to win a world championship in that era, and the extent to which his later career tarnishes his reputation.

Ben = national treasure in waiting

What is DRs most exciting win from his career? Gotta fill in these weekends during the “fall break”.

A brilliant pod. With all the hoo-haa about his last 2-3 years, one can forget how pure a Racer DR was. Thank you so much for this episode, I really enjoyed it. Side Point: I was wondering if Ben was going to say Damon Hill was a 1.5 driver. Not because he believes it, but just so he could say his name.

Disrespecting *of* Ben, or disrespect *by* Ben? 🤔😂

Good recap of his career. As an Aussie it’s sad to see him go, but I think we could all see the writing was on the wall.

Took 70 minutes to mention DTS! I think that will be a huge part of Dani Ric’s legacy… for hordes of new fans he will always be the face of DTS.
