Daniel Ricciardo at the Race of Champions 2015

La Race of Champions 2015 will be able to count on the talent of another Formula 1 driver. Not only Sebastian Vettel, but also Daniel Ricciardo will take part in the 2015 edition of the famous race which will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on 20 and 21 November. The confirmation comes directly from the event organizers who also anticipated how the Red Bull driver will be part of the TeamAustralia at the next Nations Cup, together with the motorcycling champion, Mick doohan.

“For me it is an honor to be invited to the Race of Champions and I can't wait to race within the narrow confines of the former Olympic Stadium in London – commented Ricciardo once he heard the news – I can't wait to try out the wide range of ROC cars. It seems like a serious challenge, I'm ready for anything. It's also very special to be there to represent my country, especially together with a teammate like Mick Doohan."

The Australian driver, who will take the opportunity to try to beat his former teammate Vettel, spared no words great admiration towards his teammate at the Race of Champions: "In the world of Motorsport the word legend is perhaps abused a little too much, but Mick is truly one of the few who they deserve it. What he has done in his career is incredible and then I saw that he is also a good driver on four wheels. Now we just need lots of Australians to come to cheer for us“, He concluded.
