How 'relaxed' Ricciardo aims to kick on with Renault
Renault's Aussie star will be out of contract after 2020 so is likely to be hot property on the driver market as this season unfolds, but here he explains why he remains "100%" committed to his current team and that he believes he will get to swill champagne from the inside of his black and yellow boot before too long...
Q: With the experience of last year, what would you say you've learned and how has that informed your preparations this season?
Daniel Ricciardo: Just being in a familiar environment, it's made [me]... I'm going to say the word relaxed, but not in a lazy way. I haven't been kind of running around like a headless chook, trying to have meetings with my engineer and trying to understand each other's lingo and remember each other's names and all these sort of things. I've established relationships.
