Daniel Ricciardo spilled the beans on a brief conversation he had with Michael Schumacher which had a huge impact on his Formula 1 career.
Their respective F1 lives overlapped slightly during Schumacher's encore. Having returned to the grid with Mercedes after his first retirement he spent three years racing between 2010 and 2012 – around the time Ricciardo was finding his feet in the sport.
The Aussie has enjoyed plenty of stand-out moments since, including a swathe of podiums and eight race wins. The most recent of those came in 2021, his first season with McLaren – a surprise victory at Monza, which was the highlight of his entire spell with the team.
