Daniel Ricciardo has had one of the most chaotic seasons in Formula 1 with more plot twists than racing, but it has not stopped him from getting the AlphaTauri team two spots up the Constructors Championship. The Australian has threaded through a long and difficult journey of finding his place in Formula 1 before he could imagine driving for AlphaTauri.
Nonetheless, the Honey Badger has made his name in the sport for being a happy-go-lucky person and the hunger in him to get back to the top. After his time at McLaren and Renault, Ricciardo faced a major life crisis leaving him lost and grappling with loose ends. Nonetheless, the generous, Christian Horner soon came to his rescue and took the Australian under his wing.
While Ricciardo has been the center of attention for quite a long time, his girlfriend has stuck by his side through thick and thin and they continue to do so as the star returns to the sport. With many ups and downs faced by him, it seems one person has remained constant in the Australian’s life.
Who is Daniel Ricciardo’s model girlfriend?
Daniel Ricciardo has always stayed lowkey when it comes to his private life including that of his love life, but with his recent relationship, the driver has not tried to hide that he is in love. The Australian first made appearances with Heidi Berger in 2019 while it was still not confirmed whether the two are dating, while it was assumed that the two met while Berger was a New York University student.
