Career stats
Daniel Ricciardo won the British F3 championship in 2009. He progressed to the World Series by Renault the following year, where he finished runner-up to Mikhail Aleshin by two points.
Ricciardo drove for Red Bull in the post-season rookie test that year and again in 2010.
He remained in the World Series by Renault for 2011, but dovetailed it with increasing F1 commitments. He participated in Friday first practice sessions for Red Bull’s sister team Toro Rosso.
HRT
2011
Ahead of the British Grand Prix he joined HRT’s race team in place of Narain Karthikeyan.
Ricciardo remained at the team for the rest of the season, showing gradual signs of progress and faring well against his more experienced team mates. That earned him a promotion to Toro Rosso’s race team for 2012.
