daniel ricciardo born

Daniel Ricciardo was born on 1 July 1989 in Perth, Western Australia — sunshine, sand, and later, very brave late-braking. He grew up karting around WA before blasting into Europe and then Formula 1. That grin? Pure Perth export, occasionally paired with a celebratory shoey. In short: Aussie-born, Perth-proud, and still faster than your mate leaving a servo pie on the dash.
