Mr Ricciardo drives for the Renault F1 Team and will begin his 2020 campaign at the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix on 12-15 March, which is celebrating the 25th year of F1 in Melbourne. Short biography Born in Perth in 1989, Ricciardo started karting aged just nine after finding a hero in Ayrton Senna. After working his way through the go-kart ranks, in 2005 he entered the Australian Formula Ford series and, although driving an uncompetitive car, made enough of an impression to secure a scholarship for the following season’s Formula BMW Asia championship.
