Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo is eagerly awaiting a return to Austin to drive his car around the "sick" track.

Ricciardo took his first win of the season and his first in over two years at Malaysia and hopes that his car can be even stronger at Austin. He also hopes that the wide track will allow much more overtaking.

"The track in Austin is sick, I love it," said Ricciardo as he prepared to fly out. "It has a lot of unique features like the wide apex at turn one, you could fit about four cars side by side through there.

"There are loads of opportunities to overtake and have fun throughout the whole track. It has fast flowing sections and hairpins, pretty much everything I like in a track."

Ricciardo also said that he is a big fan of the city, and looks forward to getting out and soaking it up.

"Austin city is also awesome, I really like its character," he explained. "It’s raw and authentic which makes it cool without trying to be.

"The old school bars and music venues which are super cool just makes it work. Pete’s Piano bar and Rainey Street has a lot of local music which is a really nice vibe and I want to check out Hotel Vegas this year."
