You can argue that Daniel Ricciardo’s maiden trip to the F1 podium technically came at the 2014 Australian Grand Prix but the Red Bull driver was then excluded post-race for a fuel flow meter infringement. This means that Ricciardo made his first genuine rostrum appearance in Spain on this date two years ago. And this only marked the beginning of a breakthrough season for the Aussie, with three sensational wins beckoning.
