  8. Daniel is forced to get out and walk after his taxi is disqualified by the FIA for an overcharging meter.

  9. Answering the Taxi Drivers obvious question…. “…yeah id usually drive, but Seb’s taken my car”

  10. Conspiracy theories and accusations of favouritism are already rife in Red Bull after a taxi for Ricciardo accidentally turns up before the race has started…

  22. DR: Finishing line please, and step on it! Well when I say step on it, I mean lift-and-coast

  23. There are two highly skilled drivers in this scene. One must look after every last ounce of fuel to get to the desired place as quick as possible, and the other is a taxi driver…

    To pass you taxi driver exam answer the following, what influences the speed at which your taxi meter charge goes up by?
    Well it’s all about fuel flow and I actually know a lot about that subject, it’s just a shame my previous employer didn’t!

  53. This ride won’t give me wings, but I get to keep what I earn.

    1. Haha, love it

      My contribution:
      Not even the taxi driver’s BO can wipe the smile off Daniel’s face

  54. (Plummy English voice out of shot):

    “Airport! Come along my man. I haven’t got all day you know.”

  66. “Mark told me that Fernando might want a lift”

  67. “I was just telling the driver that we ain’t gonna use his meter, I’m gonna count how may times the wheels turn and work it out from there. He could appeal, but it’s probably pointless”

  68. “Taxi for Mr Webber? Sorry, forgot your first name already, mate.”

  69. What do you think, what should we improve on this car? :)

  71. Christian! Christian! I’ve managed to borrow this for Malaysia, everything’s going to be ok!

  72. “Multi 31, get used to it…”

  73. This meter is regulated by the authorities too ?

  74. Hi. I’m Daniel Ricciardo. You may know me from last year’s Formula 1 season, and a good first grand prix in Melbourne. After the race, we went out and celebrated. We all had a few drinks and had a good time, and afterwards, it was time to go home. Even though I have a superlicense, I know when it’s time to leave the driving to someone else. So please everyone, let’s keep improving motor safety; don’t drink and drive. Take a cab!

  75. “Just bought the car that seb’s done the most miles in this year!”

  76. “I hope your fuel flow rate is upto FIA standards”

  77. It’ll do how much on the urban cycle?, you must be joking mate, I wouldn’t trust what the manufacturer says!

  78. Hey! Guys! Look at this V8 taxi. That’s how proper engines are built.

  79. My other car’s not legal.

  80. I’ve seen the way these guys drive, maybe I can pick up some tips !

  81. Yeah, go on Charlie (Whiting), run. Thought I wouldn’t catch up with you before you slipped away from the circuit in a cab, eh.

  83. Daniel – “Mr.Cab driver, does you fare meter work on distance covered or fuel consumed?”

  84. “i am so driving this taxi next race if its fuel flow is working properly”

  85. “Well this hasn’t got a Renault engine or a fuel flow monitor so change the colour scheme and I’ll keep this upgrade for the rest of the season”

  86. NO Daniel ! When they said your meter wasn’t working, they meant the one in the OTHER car !!!

  87. Daniel is going to be the next actor for Robert De Niro’s
    Taxi Driver movie Australian version.

  88. Ricciardo sets a back up career with his new song & video ‘Big Yellow Taxi’
    Don’t it always seem to go
    That you don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone
    They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
    Ooooh, bop bop bop
    Ooooh, bop bop bop

  89. “Hey Seb, my taxi’s quicker than you…”
