The amount of really young drivers in the Formula One seems to be increasing every year, but Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo is not worried by that fact
Talking to The Paddock Magazine, Ricciardo says that his reputation is already built, so he doesn't have to prove anything anymore.
"I don't really have the feeling that I have to prove myself anymore," he said.
"Not yet at least, maybe when I've passed thirty.
"For now I think that my age is just a positive thing, because of the experience that's come with it.

"A lot of these young guys are really quick but make big errors when they're racing.
"When it comes to that, I'm more balanced - quick enough and experienced enough to not make any mistakes."
Ricciardo has one of those young bucks in the garage next to him in Max Verstappen. The two have collided on multiple occasions, the latest of which in Baku when Ricciardo smashed into the back of Verstappen, but the two seem to get along while also getting the best out of each other out on the track.
