Mark Webber’s Coffee Chat with Daniel Ricciardo
Mark Webber: Hey, Daniel! Great to see you, mate. How’s it going? I heard you’ve been up to some pretty interesting stuff lately!
Daniel Ricciardo: Mark, always good to catch up! Yeah, you know me, always trying to keep life spicy both on and off the track. Been working on my wine brand and hitting up some wild adventures. How about you? Been flying any planes lately?
Mark Webber: Haha, you know it. Aviation is my guilty pleasure. But tell me more about your wine venture. I’ve seen some pics on social media. Is it as smooth as your overtakes?
Daniel Ricciardo: Oh, absolutely! It’s called DR3, and it’s been an awesome journey from selecting the grapes to the final bottling. I wanted something that reflected my personality – fun but with a bit of complexity. What do you think, should we do a tasting session on your plane?
Mark Webber: Now that’s an idea I can get behind! We could make it a high-flying tasting tour. But seriously, it sounds fantastic. You’ve always had that touch of flair, even back when you were the young gun trying to make a name in Formula 1. Speaking of which, what’s your take on the current season? Any surprises?
Daniel Ricciardo: Oh man, it’s been wild! The competition has been fierce, and the young talents coming up are pushing everyone to the limits. It’s a whole new level, but it’s great to see the sport evolving. What about you? Do you miss the adrenaline rush of F1, or are you loving the chaos from a commentator’s chair?
Mark Webber: Honestly, a bit of both. The thrill of racing is unmatched, but analyzing the sport and watching these new talents shine is a different kind of exciting. Plus, it’s fun to watch you guys from a slightly safer distance, haha! Ever thought about what you’d do if you weren’t racing anymore?
Daniel Ricciardo: Oh, you know I have a million ideas brewing. Apart from the wine, I’m really into extreme sports. Who knows, maybe I’ll take on a few daredevil stunts, or even star in an action movie! But F1 has my heart for now. Speaking of heart, how’s retirement treating you? Must be nice not having to fit into racing suits every weekend!
Mark Webber: Oh, it’s a different pace for sure. More time for family, personal projects, and catching up with old mates like you. But the racer inside me never really stops. The competitive spirit finds new ways to express itself. Hey, maybe we should team up for something crazy – like a cross-country rally or a charity race event. You game?
Daniel Ricciardo: Absolutely, mate! That sounds epic. Let’s make it happen. Always up for new adventures, especially when it’s with legends like you. To more speed, more fun, and more stories to tell!
Mark Webber: Cheers to that, Daniel. To the road ahead, wherever it may lead!
