Daniel Ricciardo gets KTM as a gift!
Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo has parted ways with Red Bull Racing. For the special farewellevent at the factory in Milton Keynes, Red Bull came up with an original gift: a brand new KTM 350SX-F!
When saying goodbye, colleagues normally put a pot together for a gift. In the case of the seven-time GP winner who drove for Red Bull Racing for five years, it could have been a little more! A farewell party under the theme #CheersDan took place at the same time as the drivers' annual factory visit. Before Ricciardo and teammate Max Verstappen had their picture taken with the staff, an official part was presented by team boss Christian Horner.
In addition to speeches, many funny and moving anecdotes about Ricciardo's time with the team were also collected. Because anyone who knows the Australian knows that he is a very relaxed guy. Also at the meeting was trial legend Dougie Lampkin. Daniel, who will compete for the Renault F1 team next season, was very happy with all the attention. It's nice to know that this KTM will have an enthusiastic owner!
