Fitness coach Joe Wicks asks Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo about keeping healthy in mind and body.

Fitness coach Joe Wicks asks Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo about keeping healthy in mind and body.

Daniel has a decade of experience in Formula 1 under his (seat)belt and currently drives for McClaren. He also featured on the hit Netflix show Drive to Survive, which followed F1 drivers living their lives in the fast lane, both on and off the track.

In this chat, Daniel shares what it's like to be at the top of one of the world's most competitive, and exclusive sports, and how he deals with the phenomenal pressure that come with it. The pressure to win, and the g-forces on his neck too!

Joe asks about one of Daniel’s most iconic victories: Monaco 2018. With technical problems and a seriously underpowered car, Daniel managed to hold the line and cross the line in first – an incredible win. Plus Joe and Daniel nerd out about dirt-bikes, music and what keeps Daniel feeling strong. He's got some great mental health tips too.
