Jim Farley hosts a conversation with Daniel Ricciardo about the triumphs and challenges of Formula One, and how those moments are both powerful and grounding. Ricciardo explains the origins of his signature “shoey,” why he helped to loosen up the historically buttoned-up sport, and how fans turned it into an expectation. He describes racing as freedom, his pre-race focus rituals, and the sense of being integrated with the car at the limit. 
DRIVE with Jim Farley is produced by Jesse Baker and Eric Nuzum of Magnificent Noise. Our production staff includes Sabrina Farhi and Kristen Mueller with help from Lori Arpin, Angela Brewer, Max Owen-Dunow, Anne Roberts, Samantha Singhal, Darnell Macon, Brandon Kennedy, and Mark Truby.
