Back To School With Daniel Ricciardo

As a student, he was "questionable", but there's no questioning Daniel Ricciardo's talent on the race track.

This post is presented in partnership with Bankwest.

In 2015, we interviewed Anthony Albanese, Michael Caton, Marie Bashir, Tom Ballard and too many other fascinating peeps to mention. Tough to top, right?

Well, in Season 3 of Back to School With, we're kicking it up a notch.

Our webseries Back to School With invites Australia's most interesting and successful people to share stories from their school days. In each episode, they let us know how they landed their dream careers, as well as how they faced all those inevitable obstacles of teenagerdom along the way.

In the fourth episode of Season 3, we speak with Daniel Ricciardo, the rising Formula One star and Aussie racing champ. In it, he reveals how he was a "questionable" student with ants in his pants during high school, and talks about his decision to move to Italy at age 17 in pursuit of his F1 dreams.
