Re:2022

When I think of Daniel's time at McLaren, I think the entirety of it is epitomised in the moments after the checkered flag in AD22.

Daniel gave his whole teenage and adult years to the sport and in the end he was disposed of so callously, without the finality or dignity of retirement nor the certainty of return. Instead after he sold and cultivated the popularity of the sport, after he spent his whole career hounded by cameras- he found a quiet corner on a dark track and did donuts alone to celebrate the remnants of his legacy, now literally only known to himself after his reputation was so thoroughly dismantled.

He then got out of the car and smiled at the cameras again and those wretched fucking vultures who built careers off of him asked him if he'd even fit into an f1 car if a seat was available next year and all he said in return was "I've been having trouble keeping weight", also with a smile.

#daniel joseph ricciardo pay for my therapy #and they put a fucking photo of the team that dismantled him on his dash. and he put “fuck them all” on his helmet.#that was daniel at the end of 2022.#truly sorry for this it was intially intended for megs eyes only but now im spiralling #fun fact known only to meg by ricciardo and i arent even on good terms rn hes in the cancelled pile 😒

Genuine question as I am curious — I know it’s pretty obvious with his expressions/ body language that Daniel seemed shy/insecure(?) about having his braces, but has he ever outright said anything about feeling that way with them? Just out of curiosity as I am new around here!

“I feel very different in terms of looks. Fortunately, experience also bought me better looks. I’m not really too fond of showing people photos of me when I was younger”

#well he doesn’t exactly say he was self-conscious of his braces but he was definitely very self-conscious about how he looked #it’s always very interesting to me the way Daniel talks about his younger self #it’s so different from how other f1 drivers talk about their early days #he’s so self-critical of younger him that I wish he was a bit more forgiving of younger him #the way he’s admitted he was never a standout talent during his karting days #that he was so hesitant to get involved in battles that his dad got mad at him #the way on the gypsy tales podcast he talks about Motocross riders being fearless and how he doesn’t have that until jase interrupts him -#to say how how mad he is because just a few days ago he was throwing a car around on a street circuit at some 300kph #the way in this video with will he describes himself walking into the paddock like a ‘headless chick’#the way he has said so many times he was scared to move away from home. how uncertain he was he would ever succeed #and then that one video towards the end of 2022 when he says ‘I was just Daniel then’ in reference to his younger self #like he has such a distinct way of looking at his younger self. like he views that part of him almost as a separate entity from the him now #and I guess that’s because it took a lot of work and years to build that confidence of becoming Daniel ricciardo #a confidence he got as he managed to survive the shark tank of the red bull junior academy #a confidence he got from beating his 4x wdc teammate. from winning the most insane races #and that confidence then getting completely decimated in the space of a few months in 2022 #and even now the more he says he is confident you can still see that tiny hesitancy #how every time he gets a good result you see how he yearns to lean back into his confident Daniel schtick #and he may just completely embrace it soon anyway <3 #daniel ricciardo #anon ask

Daniel for GQ Australia (x)

#daniel ricciardo #m:sm #i just needed these two quotes specifically together because they're so......part of a whole yk #appreciating every moment because 2022 so easily COULD have been the end....#having so much drive and ambition....wanting to leave everything on the table....#making sure that the day he DOES retire he's content with the choice because he knows he put everything he had into it.....#i can't think about it too much or i'll cry honestly

do u ever just fucking sob over a photo of a man looking at his teammate before the last race of the season and the last race they'll have together or are u fucking normal

#like. this is so much.#my fucking undoing.#dr3 #ln4 #dando #the fact that daniel still had it in him #to smile and be gracious to his engineers and to lando despite everything #even at the very end of it all #abu dhabi gp 2022 #my god you can see the helmet that he is gonna give lando right fucking THERE

Everyone moved on but I stayed there

#sick to my stomach again. i miss him so much im about to end it all. who else was like him #like. he saw daniel struggling and would not be dissuade. all throughout 2022. scathingly defending daniel in public.#comforting him in private. reaching out to daniel again and again and again #showed up to daniels test. rested his head on the halo and encouraged him. when daniel got the seat he said #I AM VERY HAPPY FOR DANIEL BECAUSE I LOVE HIM #LIKE I DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE DEVASTATING. IF THE EMPHASIS WAS ON WHICH WORD #f1 #daniel ricciardo #sebastian vettel

"We definitely have some pace in hand. I think the timesheets do not probably show the full picture for our performance today. I actually feel good being back here. It's nice to be driving an F1 around here again. Look, I say nice - not that I'm just here to drive and enjoy it, but it is definitely enjoyable. But yeah, happy with the work we've done today and as you've said, probably with some softs tomorrow, we can probably be fighting inside the top 10.

[On qualifying] Definitely, you know like within myself, I felt that I got into a better rhythm towards the end of the session. So, that'[On qualifying] Definitely, you know like within myself, I felt that I got into a better rhythm towards the end of the session. So, that's what today's for - building up towards the limit but I was happy with the last lap I did on the medium. All things considered, we're in a good place. So, now it's just finding a bit more in myself and putting the set-up together and probably merging both cars and making a beautiful sweet concoction of fast lap time goodness 😄😄.

Tomorrow is one of the coolest days in F1, like Saturday in Monaco is fun. I need to ... I'm kind of 'zenned' out. These sessions are late, like 5 pm ... 6. And then we go to engineering, so I'm a bit mentally drained. But yeah, I'm excited for tomorrow. I don't even know what time qualifying is. [Laura tells him 4 o'clock] Ah, still pretty late, but it's alright. Lucky we're owned by an energy drink company and we'll have plenty tomorrow. I'm excited to go full beans as you've said ... what did you say 'dancing on the limit'? Yeah, I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

#get my sweet old man to bed ... he's tired #but I hate that he has to justify himself every time he's said that he's enjoying driving in monaco again this weekend #i for one don't really care what the end result is this weekend #i will be just happy for him that he gets to make other memories at monaco #rather than the terrible weekend in 2022 being his last memory of his favourite track #just truly truly happy he gets to be wild here again #and i know he'll be dancing on that limit tomorrow #daniel ricciardo #monaco24
