Wacol Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Daniel Ricciardo has been appointed a Member of the Order of Australia as part of the 2022 Australia Day Honours. Ricciardo was recognised “For significant service to motor sport as a competitor and ambassador, and to the community.” The honour comes after a drought-breaking first victory for McLaren in last year’s Italian Grand Prix, a win which came more than three years after his seventh in a Formula 1 race. Recently, he became an ambassador for Save The Children, with a focus on education outside of the traditional classroom environment. Ricciardo’s official title is now ‘AM’, a group which has grown by 155 in this year’s Australia Day Honours. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oz tends to be sport-obsessed, it seems to me, but Danny's broad grin makes him a popular driver, not unassisted by his bravura - when the car is under him. 2021, many thought, would be the making of him, and he'd show Lando a thing or two. Not unlike some other drivers on changing teams, he found the McLaren set-up different to his preferences, and by the time he got that more to his liking, Lando was well down the road on points. None of us has any idea how any of the 2022 cars will perform relative to one another, but seeing McLaren even closer to the front, with both drivers in the frame, would be a nice change from the Merc/RB duopoly. 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there might be something Red in the mix as well Ian. It certainly would be good to see, Ferrari, McLaren, RB and Merc going to the wire in the Constructors Championship, as long as RB don't get it, and Merc do, (not that I'm biased).
