Camila is an ordinary girl with an ordinary life. But one day, her ordinary job takes her on a business trip to Singapore where she meets someone who will bring the extraordinary to her ordinary life.
Daniel Ricciardo x OC
My name is Daniel Ricciardo. I'm 33 years old and I was born at Perth, Australia. I live in Monaco but I spend most of the year travelling around the world. I'm a F1 pilot for McLaren team.

I must recognise that I've had better days. Since I left Red Bull it hasn't been a bed of roses. It's a hard job to adapt to a new car, but this year has been even worse. So bad that last month McLaren decided to get by without me for the next year. I've lost my seat and that's something I've never thought will occur. I'm so down in the dumps.
Even my unconditional friends are starting to be fed up with the situation. I'm always in a bad mood and I can't find a way out. Even Michael who has always been by my side has decided to find another job and will work next year for Alpha Tauri. It will be strange seeing him with another driver at the grid. It will be even more strange not being involved next year in this crazy F1 world. It's been my life for more than ten years.
I should start thinking what will I do to fill my time. Some teams have offered me a seat but I'm not interested in fighting for the last place in the grid. That's not what I want. I'm still hungry of victories, I still think I can be world champion. But not in a stupid Haas truck.
This year has been a fucking shit. It started loosing the Bahrein tests because of COVID, then my long-term relationship ended and see how it's going now. I don't want to know how it will end.
I've been hiding from the press, from my friends and almost from everyone. My parents are now my best support. I phone my mom very often as she always knows what to say to give me courage.
Honestly, I can't wait for this season to end. Im looking forward going back home to Australia and spend the rest of the year there at my ranch riding motorbikes and enjoying time with family. Far from the spotlight and all the F1 circus.
I used to be known for my big smile, for being a very friendly driver with good relations with everyone in the paddock but now I can't stand anyone. Last week I even answered Natalie in a bad way during an interview. She asked a question that triggered me and she was just doing her job. I apologised to her later but that was for me the evidence of my horrible mental status.
That's not me. I can't recognise myself.
I used to talk about my feelings and anxieties with Michael and Blake but actually I don't want to.
I just want this season to end. Faster as it could. I'm sure there's nothing that could improve this shitty 2022.
