Formula One
2015: McLaren
Ricciardo made his F1 debut in 2015, driving for Marlboro McLaren Hyundai in the British team's final season. Ricciardo had been drafted by Peugeot in the Young Driver's Draft the year before, but he made the jump to McLaren once Sebastian Vettel and Sergio Perez had vacated the team.
Ricciardo had to wait until the fourth round in Mexico before he took his first Grand Prix wins, his first two of eleven in 2015. Ricciardo would be embroiled in a battle with his teammate Robert Kubica as well as Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg of Williams for driver's honours - but it would be Ricciardo who triumphed in the end.
2016: DISA DGNgineering
With McLaren's withdrawal at the end of 2015, defending champion Ricciardo made the switch to the DISA DGNgineering squad alongside his 2015 teammate Kubica. Neither Ricciardo or Kubica were able to get a win all year - and Ricciardo finished his sophomore season in sixteenth place.
2017: Mahindra
2017 saw Ricciardo join Indian minnows Mahindra, racing with young American Conor Daly. 2017 was much more of an improvement, with Ricciardo coming second on four occasions. Ricciardo finished the year in ninth place.
2018-2019: Calinetic
Ricciardo joined his fourth team in as many years in 2018, signing a two year contract with Jamaican outfit Calinetic. Ricciardo's first season with Calinetic would bring two further podiums on his way to eleventh place in the championship.
2019 would be a severe drop in performance, with only a single points score in the early stages of the season.
