Texas Dan roots for the Longhorns!

The US Grand Prix in Austin is one of Daniel Ricciardo's favourite venues and one where he typically dedicates his helmet design to a specific Texas theme.

This year, the Aussie will pay tribute to the Longhorns, the college football team representing the University of Texas in Austin, with a livery that resembles the Horns' helmet.

"The long and short of it is: I love Austin. The first year we visited here, I fell in love with the place, the people and the atmosphere. It speaks my language!" explained the Renault stalwart.

"Last year, I finally went to a Texas Longhorns game and it was an awesome experience, so I thought this year I'd tip my hat to them.

"I normally try and do something Austin themed here and I thought the Longhorns was a cool one with the idea to do a Football helmet; it's pretty special and I'd like to show some love to the city!"
