CIRCUIT RICCIARDO AND WEBBER THRILLED FOR LUIS LEEDS Some of Australia’s best motor sport ambassadors send their congratulations Daniel Ricciardo and Mark Webber have both extended their congratulations on young Victorian racer Luis Leeds being signed by the Red Bull Junior Team. Having come through the same pathway himself, Ricciardo was excited to learn of a new Australian driver climbing through the world open-wheel rankings. “That was really cool news as well when I heard it. And he’s only fifteen! I didn’t know what I wanted to do at fifteen! So he’s obviously a few steps ahead of me which is cool,” Ricciardo said. “You’re fifteen so it’s like…I’m 26 and I’m still a massive sponge! Learning all the time. So, learn what you can while you can.” 2015 World Endurance Champion Mark Webber referenced the list of graduates that the Red Bull Junior Team has had over the years, some of whom Webber raced against in Formula 1. “He’s obviously delivered very well in a short period of time. I hear he’s very hungry and focused. He’s got a great opportunity ahead of him now,” Webber said. “Red Bull … we know they’ve had an immense amount of success pulling young guys through with Seb [Vettel] obviously and Daniel [Ricciardo] and with young Dani Kvyat as well and obviously Max [Verstappen] now and Carlos [Sainz Jnr]. There’s a great stable of guys that have come through.” Webber said he’s looking forward to watching Leeds’ European career, as the 15-year-old Victorian is set to race in the MSA Formula with Arden International. “I look forward to actually bumping into him at some stage over there,” Webber said. “The off-track is going to be as testing as the on-track stuff. I think the driving you’ll enjoy, and it’ll be as enjoyable as you can probably imagine. “The real test comes with the 95% of the time you’re out of the car and that’ll test your morale every now and again. I’m sure he’ll do fine!” Ricciardo reflected on his own journey through the Red Bull Junior Team, and the development he received outside of racing. “Sure there’s a lot of pressure and the guys [Red Bull] will put a lot of emphasis on your results and everything. There’s a lot to learn in the fitness side, the media side, there’s so many little bits and pieces they put toward making the program work. Just absorb all of it, be a sponge,” Ricciardo said. “Enjoy it, have fun, race hard and don’t let Dr. Marko give you too much of a hard time!” 4
RALLY AUSSIES TAKE ON DAKAR RALLY Two Australians, two categories and one gruelling Dakar create entertainment to last a lifetime The best part about any new year is the Dakar. Arguably the hardest race in the world, we had two Aussies take part in the gruelling race. To top off a solid 2015 effort from finishing third on debut, Newcastle’s Toby Price defied all odds and finished the rally first in the Motorcycle division. The Red Bull KTM racer finished 39 minutes, 41 seconds in front of his teammate, and made the entire Australian motor sport community extremely proud. “Being the first Australian to win the Dakar is just insane,” Price told the ABC. “I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to think … I’m in shock, I never would’ve thought I could win this race in my second participation. “This is incredible for my family, my friends and my fans back in Australia.” Over in the Car division was experienced Australian co-driver Dale Moscatt, who was partnered with Czech Peter Jerie to finish a solid 32nd outright. The pair completed their Dakar dream in their Toyota Hilux, and said they could not be more proud to finish after 15 days of competition and 4800 competitive kilometres. “A few simple words wouldn’t be able to describe the adventure and challenge that this Dakar Rally has provided, nor could it explain the feeling proudly achieving a finish on my first attempt here in Argentina,” Moscatt said. “So sitting down now with our team to celebrate is the first thing to do … thanks so much for the support!” 5
