Daniel Ricciardo joins forces with F1 team after striking new deal

Daniel Ricciardo is returning to motorsport, with the Australian's premium lifestyle brand Enchanté teaming up with Racing Bulls' academy programme.

The partnership will see the eight-time grand prix winner's company logo adorn the F1 Academy car of Rafaela Ferreira, starting at the Miami Grand Prix this weekend.

In addition, the deal will see Ferreira wear co-branded Enchanté team kit with apparel also available on the company's website.

"Enchanté has always come from a place of fun," Ricciardo said. "Look good, feel good. Jumping in a car at those speeds requires so much confidence, and I know feeling comfortable walking through the paddock feeds all of that.

"This partnership between Enchanté and the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Academy Programme is something we’re really excited about, and we look forward to creating an extension of fashion in the paddock that’s been building over the last few years."

Ferreira, who sits ninth in the F1 Academy standings with eight points after two rounds, added: "I like to play around with my style and often use clothes to express who I am.

"This is such an exciting partnership as I love the fun vibe that Enchanté brings, so can’t wait to bring the confidence it gives me to track.

"I'm looking forward to wearing the collection over the weekend for my first time driving with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Academy Programme in Miami."
