Daniel Joseph Ricciardo (/rɪˈkɑːrdoʊ/ rik-AR-doh, Italian: [ritˈtʃardo]; born 1 July 1989) is an Australian former racing driver who competed in Formula One from 2011 to 2024. Nicknamed "the Honey Badger", Ricciardo won eight Formula One Grands Prix across 14 seasons.

Born and raised in Perth to Italian-Australian parents, Ricciardo began competitive kart racing at the age of nine. Graduating to junior formulae in 2005, Ricciardo debuted in his regional Formula Ford championship. He won his first title at the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 WEC with SG Formula, before winning the 2009 British Formula 3 Championship with Carlin. He then progressed to Formula Renault 3.5, finishing runner-up to Mikhail Aleshin by two points in his rookie season. Ricciardo made his Formula One debut at the 2011 British Grand Prix with HRT as part of the Red Bull Junior Team, replacing Narain Karthikeyan for the remainder of 2011. He earned a full-time drive with Toro Rosso in 2012 and 2013 alongside Jean-Éric Vergne, scoring several points finishes in each. Ricciardo was promoted to Red Bull in 2014, replacing the retiring Mark Webber to partner defending four-time World Drivers' Champion Sebastian Vettel.
