The Aussie has always been a fun person to hang out with and demonstrated just that in his Top Gear appearance back in his Red Bull days. Ricciardo took on the famous ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ challenge, coming out with the quickest time and some cracking jokes.

His funny quips and reactions continued throughout the lap.
