Daniel Ricciardo, former Formula 1 driver and Ford Racing global ambassador, told Ford CEO Jim Farley that Formula 1 includes many days that "hurt" despite his successes.
Ricciardo retired from Formula 1 after the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix when he was let go by Racing Bulls, and across 14 seasons he recorded eight Grand Prix wins, 32 podiums and more than 250 starts.
He said the "really good days are few" and acknowledged frustration and factors outside his control, adding that he will take accountability when he can but many days "suck."
Ricciardo described winning as feeling like a temporary "superpower" that makes the highs higher while also being grounding. As Ford Racing global ambassador he has continued to discuss the emotional highs and lows of his career with Ford CEO Jim Farley.
