Daniel Ricciardo

What are you most looking forward to when you get off the plane in Australia?
“The fresh air. I love going home and the fresh air really gives me that home feeling. I spend so much time now away from Australia, that anywhere in Oz feels like home really. It’s the cars, the accent, the food and the weather.”

What’s your favourite thing about the first race?
“I’m just excited to finally go racing again. And for me it’s fun. Obviously I’m really privileged having it at home, but in any case, it means it’s a start to a new year. There is always new motivation and I think it’s exciting.”

What’s your favourite thing about Aussie F1 fans?
“They are not shy. They’ll go out and cheer and will be loud and flamboyant. They are pretty passionate about sports in general. It’s great to see Formula One growing a lot in Australia. It’s becoming quite a popular sport, which is really cool to see.”

What’s your favourite thing about the track in Melbourne?
“The whole vibe and atmosphere is just amazing. It’s busy and there is always something going on. The track is fun. I’ve always liked street circuits. I think it’s a great and fast flowing circuit.”

How did testing go for you?
“Testing has been relatively good for us. We had a few reliability issues but we racked up a lot of miles and learned a lot. I still feel that we have a bit more to go. But there is no better place to do this than going racing. I’m ready to go.”

How do you feel about the first race of the season?
“There is always something special about the race in Australia. It’s my second race in Melbourne and I took a lot of great memories from the race last year. It’s a beautiful place. Good weather, good food and great atmosphere.”

What’s the best place you visited away from the track?
00154e “We went to the St. Kilda beach with our engineers to chill and look around and then went for dinner. It was pretty cool.”

What’s your best memory of the race last year?
“Well it was my first Formula One race and it all felt like a dream, because I didn’t know what to expect. It’s a memory that will never go away. I finished my first race in the points and became youngest-ever scorer, so it was very special for me.”

What’s the best thing about Albert Park?
“It’s an interesting flowing track. It’s challenging and there is always something special about it.”

Looking back at the Testing. How did it go and are you looking forward to Australia now?
“We did our best in the testing. I wouldn’t say it was the smoothest, but it was productive. Compared to last year we were definitely on another level. I’m sure that there will be very tight competition in Australia. We’ll do our best.”

World of Red Bull

In 2014 Red Bull Double Pipe pushed the limits of halfpipe snowboarding by building the first-ever side-by-side superpipes to challenge the world’s best snowboarders. On March 11–13 the competition will return for a second year, ready to push the limits even further. Once again Buttermilk in Aspen, Colorado will host Red Bull Double Pipe and will boast an updated course, designed with input from the riders themselves, along with the addition of a Doubles and Best Trick contest.

Building off the success of last year’s first-ever side-by-side superpipe contest, the riding is expected to be more dynamic, with course updates to giving the unique snow feature a completely new look.
Red Bull Double Pipe will include three distinct zones, incorporating elements of both halfpipe and slopestyle riding. Stay in the conversation for all things #DoublePipe with @redbullCO.
With a skateboarding mini ramp, afternoon pool parties, BBQs, and DJs, Double Pipe is shaping up to be the perfect ending to the snowboarding competition season.
