Kids keep pace with Daniel Ricciardo

In the lead up to the 2018 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, Mobil held an exclusive event at the Go Kart Club Victoria circuit with Aston Martin Red Bull Racing’s Daniel Ricciardo and Australia’s 2018 Grid Kids to help inspire the next generation of local racing champions.

As part of a press conference where kids played the role of journalists, Daniel shared his goals and aspirations for the season, talked to the Grid Kids about the importance of teamwork and quality fuel and design.

This led to a discussion about the science behind Mobil fuels and lubricants and their role in Formula 1 racing.

The Grid Kids also participated in a time challenge race against Ricciardo whose Kart was awarded to 10 year old Cadel Ambrose who recorded the fastest time… after Daniel of course.

Mobil wishes Daniel the best of luck for the rest of the Formula 1 season.
