The start of the season in Australia is even more special for Daniel Ricciardo, the local hero. It’s the perfect opportunity for him to showcase events with his personal sponsors.<\/p>\n
He revealed that he is becoming an ambassador for GoPro. The camera brand had joined Red Bull last year, which allowed the team to generate many short videos offering a behind-the-scenes view. The Australian will therefore be even more inclined to create videos and share them on social media. Additionally, he announced that he has reached an agreement with the swim shorts brand with very colorful designs, Orlebar Brown, which will be launching a collection in his name.<\/p>\n
But for Daniel Ricciardo, the most important question of the year will be about his future at the end of the season since it’s the last of his contract with Red Bull. He has already made it known that he will take his time to make a decision as it will have a significant impact on the rest of his career: \u00ab It’s a big decision for me. So I need to take my time to make it. I intend to stay in this sport for a while longer but, that being said, if I signed a three-year contract, it would represent an important part of the next phase of my career. I need to make the right decision, so it’s an important one. I think it’s the most important decision of my life. I will take as much time as necessary. It won’t be a distraction. \u00bb<\/p>\n
It will be all the more important as both of Mercedes’ seats are up at the end of the season, as is Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen’s at Ferrari. The level of competitiveness in the early races of the season will therefore be crucial for everyone’s decisions.<\/p>\n
