Silverstone bringing healthy memories for Ricciardo

Published on 12 Jul 2017 09:31

Daniel Ricciardo is heavily anticipating an immediate return to racing, as he heads from Austria to England to compete round ten of the 2017 Formula 1 championship. The Australian made his debut at Silverstone in 2011 for HRT and has since established himself as one of the quickest drivers on the grid.

Ricciardo is thoroughly enjoying his season so far despite not having a car looking as though it's a serious championship contender. In every race since Spain, the 28-year-old has found himself finishing on the podium. Coming to Silverstone, where he's finished inside the top three once, he is expecting a big challenge from the new cars.

"Looking ahead to the British Grand Prix, I actually made my F1 race debut at Silverstone so it will always be a special track for that reason. I have driven at Silverstone since I raced in British F3 and I’ve always enjoyed the high speed combinations of Copse, Maggotts, Becketts and Stowe; that part of real estate is seriously some of the best in Formula 1.

"This year with the higher speeds Silverstone will be even better. I think Copse should be full throttle and if so, that will be intense. We will be getting a lot of Gs through the high speed sections and it will be one of the biggest physical challenges this season."

Ricciardo also went on to praise the fans who are expected to turn out in large numbers once again. Ricciardo claims they are "real" motorsport fans, staying to watch no matter what the weather conditions are like.

"The British fans are amazing, we have raced there in boiling heat, well not boiling heat really but for the English it’s boiling heat, also hail and rain and they will come early in the morning and stay until late in the evening. They are real motorsport fans, they love it and they are also loyal. Loyal to the local drivers but also happy to see any of us drivers and show us support, it’s a great atmosphere."
