Around a year has passed since its end in Formula 1. Daniel Ricciardo is still sporty, but is said to have injured himself.
In the premier class of motorsport, Daniel Ricciardo once drove for race stables such as Red Bull (2014 to 2018) and McLaren (2021 to 2022). In the meantime, the former Formula 1 pilot is devoting new challenges. Such is now said to have been doomed.
According to the “Planetf1.com” portal, the Australian in his home country in the north of Queensland (Australia) should have been traveling with a dirt bike. According to the report, the 36-year-old injured his collarbone. No more information about the accident or injury is known.
According to the portal, however, it is said to have come to the hospital, more precisely to the “Mossman Hospital” in Queensland. So far, Ricciardo has not commented on it.
After its end in Formula 1, the ex-driver, known as a funny, dipped and gave few interviews. Most recently, however, he was at a real estate conference. There, the former Alpha-Tauri driver used to be humorous when asked what he had done since his end of his career in 2024: “What I did not do is to shave.”
Then he added: “This year was a kind of self -discovery. I lived in full swing as long as this crazy life, and this year I devoted myself a little more to calm. I had a lot of time.” He hiked a lot and explored nature. He always showed this on Instagram, most recently with a photo on which a grizzly bear was also seen.
