Daniel Ricciardo, despite his Italian roots, has no ‘great dream’ to race for Ferrari in the future and insists he is more than happy at Red Bull.
The Australian has Italian family but doesn’t hold a burning passion to race for the Scuderia, unlike many on the grid who often describe it as “the dream”.
“To be honest I think this is just a cliche,” Ricciardo told Gazzeta dello Sport.
“For sure some drivers have this dream, but I think it’s related to the fact that their parents loved Ferrari for its great history and cultural heritage.
“My Italian DNA definitely comes out in my eating [though],” he joked.
The 25-year-old is happy with his first year at Red Bull and has no plans to leave.
“I was hoping for a year like this,” he added. “I knew that if I did everything right, it was possible to fight on equal terms with Sebastian.
“I think I’ve started the year very well, so the goal is just to keep doing what I’m doing.”
