"I'm tripping balls"

“Wow, to be the first Aussie on the Aussie podium. I am just speechless. I’m tripping balls" - Ricciardo at the 2014 Australian GP, before learning of his disqualification.

"It's like losing my virginity"

"This is my first Race Of Champions so it's like losing my virginity" - Ricciardo ahead of entering the Race of Champions for the first time. After saying this quote, he gave Felipe Massa, sat next to him, a quick squeeze on the leg.

"It does kick you in the nuts sometimes"

"Sport does that. It's up and down and it does kick you in the nuts sometimes I guess, or you feel like it does. Or if you are female it kicks you in... whatever it is" - Ricciardo after the 2016 British GP amid a run of bad luck.

"...so I don't come across like a dickhead"

"I'll try to contain my competitiveness so I don't come across like a dickhead" - Ricciardo ahead of the 2013 season. His efforts through the year were enough to get him a drive with Red Bull for 2014.

"Aw, hell, ma boy's done it again!"

"When I saw Max out there I thought, 'aw, hell, ma boy's done it again!'" - Ricciardo (in his best Texan accent) reflects on Max Verstappen's DNF at the 2016 US GP.

"I don't really know anything anymore"

"I'm kind of not sure if my name is Daniel, David, Darren. I don't really know anything anymore. Like Zoolander, where he looks into the puddle, 'who am I?'. Is it the puddle? Yeah. Anyway. What did you ask me?" - Ricciardo gets off-topic when asked a question about Red Bull's expectations at this year's Bahrain GP.

“Top o’ the mornin’ to you Graham... Oh you're Scottish! I’ve wanted you to ask me a question all weekend. I was waiting to say that and I blew it. Viva Scotland!” - Ricciardo thinks a journalist is Irish, only for him to turn out to be Scottish. Hilarity ensues.

"Please sir, don't throw that catastrophe upon me"

"Please sir, don't throw that catastrophe upon me. I'm standing here as a neutral. I just want what's best for the great city of Texas and the great country of America" - back in his Texan accident, Ricciardo is asked if he would support Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in the US election.

"You get the sweat and all that through it"

"If the sparkling wine is cold, then it tastes good. Normally on the podium, it's cold so you don't get all the flavours but if it's warm, then you get the sweat and all that through it... but the cold taste kills the bad stuff" - Ricciardo explains the science of his famous 'shoey' celebration.
