Daniel Ricciardo's absence from the Formula 1 grid this year left the executive producer of the Drive to Survive Netflix show feeling "very emotional".
The programme has been extremely popular and is credited for bringing a new generation of fans to the sport by shining a light on the personalities behind the helmets and within the paddock.
Ricciardo has been a central figure in that regard. Not every team participated in the first series in 2018 and Max Verstappen boycotted the season covering the 2021 campaign – but the Australian has always made himself available and was an obvious hit with those new fans.
