Daniel Ricciardo has been treated in hospital for minor injuries
sustained in a motorcycle accident in Australia, it has been
reported. The eight-time grand prix winner came off the dirt bike
he was riding in Queensland and sustained a minor collarbone
injury, PlanetF1 has reported. Ricciardo is believed to have been
riding through the Daintree, the world's oldest tropical
rainforest, when he suffered the injury, but was in good spirits
after receiving treatment at Mossman Hospital, about 50km away.
Since leaving F1 after the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, Ricciardo has
kept away from the limelight, despite his enduring popularity with
fans. He was recently attending a conference, where he was asked
about his new full-length beard, and was recently in Alaska, where
he stated a "bonus" was not getting mauled by a grizzly bear.
Despite fans calling for his return, potentially with Cadillac in
2026, Ricciardo considers his F1 career to be over.
