F1 star Daniel Ricciardo talks love of MMA, Bills mafia, recent highs and lows, mental health, more
Спорт
Daniel Ricciardo, the Formula 1 superstar, joins Ariel to talk about Ricciardo's Bills fandom and obsession with watching the UFC, among many other things. Then, the guys discuss Ricciardo's illustrious motor racing career, where Ricciardo opens up about his rise in popularity, if he has any regrets, his decision to change teams again in 2020, the importance of putting yourself first, dealing with critics and much, much more.
Daniel Ricciardo is one of the top Formula 1 drivers in the world. The 32-year-old Australian-born racer has won eight Grand Prix in his career, the most recent one coming in Italy this past September. Ricciardo gained even more fame in 2019 with the release of the popular Netflix series, Drive to Survive, a docuseries that took viewers behind the scenes of life as an Formula 1 driver.

I’m trying to figure out what there is to dislike about the guy. He seems so positive and friendly to everyone
This was a QUALITY interview, and you can tell how comfortable Daniel was with the length of his answers. I thoroughly enjoyed. 👌🏽

Daniel is a pro. Even in his F1 interviews, he speaks and flows with the conversation really well. Formula 1 has prob the most media/interviews than any other sport, so The Badger has had good practice

Teaming up with Netflix was a total win for them. They have new owners that totally rebranded the series and took a new approach.
Daniel said that he is obsessed by UFC and he is watching everything. I Got the same with F1 because of him. Keep my fingers crossed for Daniel and congrats for you for this interview 👏 Thanks 😊
Ricciardo has such an infectious personality. Hope he stays in f1 for another 10 years. Sport wouldn’t be the same without him
I’ve been watching Ariel since his FanHouse days. It’s crazy to see my two worlds colliding this like. Beautiful, but crazy.

Danny Ric!!!!! The definition of Class Act!
hadn't seen your show before, but i watched this one for danny, and this was quality! thanks for making one of our favorite f1 boys so comfortable and allowing him to open up about so much! hope you guys do more together : )
The hour felt like a breeze watching this interview. Great chemistry! Love the questions and how open and flexible the host is with danny. Ricciardo is so refreshing to listen to, he seems like a genuine person to talk to
Daniel Ricciardo is from my home state of Western Australia, whooo! I love Ariel too!
Ariels the man bro. One of our gems. Good of him to invite Danny Ric to speak! 2 Legends
Would love to see Daniel on the MMA hour someday too!
The best interview I've ever heard with Danny Ric. Very chill and sounded like two friends having the chat ...
I'm glad Daniel's been getting more exposure in the U.S. recently. The guy is a gem.
Hearing Daniel say, "The stars have aligned, Aerial." made my heart flutter... even though he wasn't talking to me. No shame. (And, yes...I imagined my own name spelling)
That is why i support Daniel and i will keep support him no matter happens. He gives a different approach to the sport, we all can see that he enjoys everything what he does and this is inspirational. Thanks for having him and asking very good questions especially about mental health. We all need to be more open and educated about this.
Daniel ricciardo getting interviewed by Ariel helwani is something I'd never thought I'd see, I love both F1 and MMA so loving this mix up from both sports 😜
What a fresh rush of energy is Daniel Riccardo
The Crossover no-one expected yet needed
This is like my two favorite shows doing a crossover episode!

I'm here for Daniel and I gotta say, I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!! Definitely one of the best interviews Daniel had in a long time. Felt like I was just listening in to your conversation. Could watch this the whole day and not get bored. Thank you so much for this gem, it put a smile on my face ☺️☺️☺️
This is the best f1 interview in recent memory.
Love it that Ariel is getting into F1. Its a great sport, Ariel. Lots of drama and excitement! Still in awe that Danny Ricc is on here! Tbf, I cant imagine Max, Lewis or even Russel, Norris, etc coming on here and being this good of an interview with ariel
Who else is smiling along watching him talk about MMA? 😃 Danny Ric is a proper MMA fan and one of my favourite F1 drivers. Great interview.
Dani Ric!! Let’s freaking goooooo!!!!!
I can can confirm that Daniel is smiling more for mma than for F1 rn. (F1 fan since 2007)
I watched this with the son, who's introduced me to UFC & F1 thourghtout many years. An awesome interview, interesting questions with honest answers. Both Daniel & Ariel are both great role models for young people today.
This was such an informative interview. Enjoyed every minute of it!
Awesome to see the two of you come together like this. Couldnt even believe it at first.
What a wonderful interview. Great rapport between the two of you…kudos to you both.
Thanks Ariel. This was a great chat
What an awesome interview, props to you both, from Australia xx
Amazing interview, Ariel. So awesome seeing two of my favourite sports worlds colliding.
As an Australian hardcore MMA and F1 fan and fan of both Ariel and Ric personally this is a dream come true lol
First time I've watched any interview this long from start to finish. So good
Superbe interview ! Bravo ! Congrat on the interview ! Daniel is a super person, love him ! Good job also on the work on the interview 👌🏼
Thanks for this Ariel!!
Mma and f1 are my favorite sports and this was a great interview mixing it together
Amazing interview… loved the flow and the questions were so good. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great Interview as always Ariel!
F1 love is global. When Daniel won Monza here in Australia, we were rapt. The Monday after, in a Cafe I watched 4 elderly Italian/Aussie men, former Holdens workers raised their Coffee Cups to salute Monza, Daniel's Parents and then Daniel. They dissected every aspect of the race and Daniel's Shoey. that Love was the purest form of respect and fandom. I just wished I had filmed it. this was Adelaide, Perth was even more happier. Go you good thing, more podiums equals more shoeys and a whole heap of happiness. cheers.
Thank you for introducing more people to the world of F1! 🙏
THIS IS THE PERFECT INTERVIEW!! my two favourite sports!! just and unexpected surprise
ricciardo is the man
This was so good!
Great interview, big F1 fan and Riccardo is one of the best characters in F1
Great interview like always! I have followed Ariel from the beginning. I really enjoy these interviews outside mma. Keep it up Ariel!
The best interview!!
What a treat, great interview Ariel.
Great interview by Ariel and legend as always Daniel
Let's go! Heelwani. Born to do this. Congratulations sir. Danny ric. One of the good guys. The last of the late brakers was a bit giddy to be talking to Ariel. 👍🏾👌🏾
First time coming across one of your shows but thoroughly enjoyed your interviewing style and overall demeanour Ariel. Great interview! Oh.. and love you Danny! :)
Incredible interview. Love how open Daniel was about his highs and lows this year. So important for people to be able to talk about mental health and the fact he was so open about it is such an incredible thing especially in the type of level sport he is in. What an idol and such a down to earth person.
I watched this show just because of Daniel. It's a really good & insightful interview because Arial did his research and touched on various topics that Daniel was really interested about. He didn't just stick to UFC and he gave Daniel his time to shine. He touched on Netflix but still making it all about Daniel. It was really fun to watch!
Another great interview with a really “down to earth” Aussie sports star. 👍🇦🇺
The only two sports I watch coming together in this interview, love it!

Ariel! Loved this - pls do more!
I'd love to see some Football figures (European football/ soccer) on this sort of format going for an hour or so. It's a shame they are restricted about talking due to contract restrictions though. Its the best thing about mma and boxing. They can say whatever they want
Hats off to Ariel for branching out and doing this with and F1 driver
Great interview!
Great interview! Ariel always deliver 🙌
I really loved this interview! I never comment normally but this was awesome, good questions very interesting!
Didn't see this coming! Awesome stuff!
Ariel, you are a beast. F1 and MMA have been is my favorite sports for years and you crushed this interview. You are professional and a scholar. I’ve Listening to you for years and experiencing this interview mash up of my two favorite sports could’ve been done better by anyone else Thank you!!😀
Fantastic interview Ariel!! Would be nice to have interviewers in F1 to take some notes from you.😊
I needed this linkup
this is the most perfect interview of all time. Gives me huge Zane Lowe vibes. thank you for this Ariel.
this made me so happy
Wonderful interview.
Awesome convo! How DR feels about MMA, I feel about F1. Love his passion, he gets nervous for fights like I get nervous for his races.
I am from east Canada, started watching F1 in 1996, watched 1996 to ruffly 2004. I started watching mma in 2006 and I'v ben a big GSP fan! I fell off a bit after gsp retired. I started back watching f1 religiously in 2014 and I've ben a huge Danny ric fan since. Do this is a big worlds colliding for me! And I have to say this is the best interview I see of Daniel.
Really really really enjoyed this
Amazing stuff!!
I could have watched another hour of this interview!
Helll yessss! Best mma journalist with the coolest F1 driver!!
The crossover we needed!
Wow what a nice surprise to see these two talk 👍
Legend
Best F1 interview in recent memory. F1 media needs to take notes. They act like TMZ types way to often.
My fav MMA journalist and my fav sportsman Ricci Bobby in one video 😍
Ariel did a great job doing research for this interview. Asked good questions. He is definitely a good journalist 👏🏼
This boy Daniel Ricciardo is gold for the sport. Great interview btw.
My fave reporter and fave driver what an amazing interview this was.
Class! Love Danny ric!!
this is an interview I thought Id never see
I followed F1 from 1997 till 2017 and have fallen out of love with the series. Riccardo however remained one of my favorite drivers. I hope he gets to truly compete for the championship one day, which may not happen for a lot of awesome drivers in the series. Nico Hulkenberg was a prime example of not being in a position to compete and so was Jean Alesi in the mid 90s.

Thought I was tripping when this popped up. My 2 favourite sports colliding and Ariel managing to bag the biggest personality in the whole of F1. Kudos to you Heelwani!
This is one in definitely looking forward too

Thug nose meets the honey badger. Being a big MMA fan and an even bigger F1 fan, this was the interview i needed. Top stuff right here.
Such a big fan of F1 and Dan! This was so cool!
Having not really been part of the MMA scene at all - I have to say this was one of the most candid, entertaining and natural F1 interview's I've ever watched. Kudos to Ariel.
Awesome guest !!
I know I can't be the only one who loves motorsports as much as combat sports. They really do have a lot in common. Still, you don't see a lot of crossover. To think that Danny Ric is one of us just completely blows my mind! I was smiling ear to ear the entire interview! I also didn't know that Ariel was even remotely into F1... shows what I know! Thanks Ariel! This was an awesome surprise!
