I live close enough to the grand prix track to hear the Ferrari team screaming in Italian over the aria of an F1 engine, and I appreciate the sport in the same way I admire NASA for being able to send a rocket into space – the power and scope of human achievement. It’s 25 years since the race moved from Adelaide to Melbourne and Daniel Ricciardo – the only local driver on the grid at this year’s Formula One Rolex Australian Grand Prix – shares with us what it is like to, put simply, drive that insanely fast.

THRILL of the CHASE

DOM A IN REV IEW

COVER STORY Australian Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo has the courage and physicality of a fighter pilot.

After a racing detox, the only local driver on the grid at Albert Park is ready for every white-knuckle moment.

Wo r d s

But that’s not to say he’s flippant or ignorant of the dangers that are part of the mix of what makes F1 so daunting, yet so thrilling. “The dangers are always there in the back of your mind – anyone that says they’re not is lying,” Ricciardo says.

“You don’t deny the dangers exist, but we’re so used to it that it’s normal. But I certainly understand how it must be if you don’t have control.

For me, I’m the one in control, but I know that when my mum is watching, she doesn’t know that I’m going to go for an overtake or not, or if I’m going to do something safe or not.

“When I’m watching MotoGP or supercross on TV, I’m like mum is, the one riding every move and watching it like any other fan does.

“It’s always more nerve-racking not being in the drivers’ seat.”

It’s a pragmatic mindset that helps Ricciardo cope with the rigours of F1 pre-season testing, which comprises six days of on-track action at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona each February.

Unlike other professional athletes who can kick, throw or hit a ball to keep their eye in during their

young gun Max Verstappen as the very best drivers of those who ascend to the rarefied air of F1.

Renault, desperate to return to the top of F1 after a long period in the wilderness, secured Ricciardo’s services for the 2019-20 seasons.

A glance at the Albert Park grandstands at last year’s Australian Grand Prix – resplendent in yellow after his legion of fans brought new merchandise to mirror his move – showed that, as international sporting A-listers go, few have Ricciardo’s reach, and fewer still are almost unanimously admired as he is for his results, and the relentlessly positive approach he takes to pursuing them.

Ricciardo’s chosen profession is one that comes with plenty of rewards, but is a workplace that carries undeniable risk.

Once Ricciardo is strapped into his RS20 machine and the visor of his helmet snaps shut, he has a disarming calm when speaking to his team over the two-way radio during races, relaying information about the behaviour of his car, the condition of his tyres or the tactics of his rivals with a succinct laid-back Australian patois.

“The dangers are always there in the back of your mind – anyone that says they’re not is lying.”

JOE ARMAO

D

aniel Ricciardo’s preparation for the next Formula One season starts as soon as the chequered flag falls on the year prior.

The 30-year-old returns to his native Western Australia, switches off his phone and heads to a farm a few hours away from Perth.

A strict training regimen is put on hold, dietary considerations are few, and his typically highlyregimented timetable is eschewed for days with no plans at all.

Stopping to a standstill is what helps a man who spends his life trying to be faster than anyone else hit the reset button to come back and chase the world championship he so desperately craves.

“Getting home to Australia from Europe is where I always feel the next season starts more than the current one ending,” Ricciardo says.

“From mid-December until the new year, I try not to be on any sort of schedule, no training program, no diet, nothing. My mind needs it as much as my body. Mentally, not being on a timetable is very liberating and a way that I regain the energy I need.”

If Ricciardo’s December detox doesn’t sound like the preparation required of an elite athlete, his January schedule makes you feel exhausted just thinking about it.

Once the calendar flips to the new year, Ricciardo, together with long-time friend and personal trainer Michael Italiano, throws himself into a brutal program that enables him to stay physically and mentally ready for a sport that crisscrosses the globe to race 21 times in eight months across any number of time zones, not to mention temperature and altitude extremes.

It’s a level of commitment that sees the elite in the sport compared favourably with fighter pilots for their combination of physical fitness and clarity of thought under extreme pressure.

Elite? Ricciardo has become just that after starting his F1 career in 2011, his early promise seeing him land a plum drive with Red Bull Racing in 2014 after compatriot Mark Webber called it quits.

In five seasons at Red Bull, Ricciardo won seven races including the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix in 2018, and regularly found himself in debates alongside six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, four-time champion Sebastian Vettel and Dutch

off-season, F1 drivers return to their day job completely cold. For all of the weights, fitness work, enhancing of core strength and mind management that goes on away from the eyes of the public, F1 drivers can’t replicate the speed and sensations they endure at the race track until they’re back on it.

“The first few years for me, when I got back to testing, it was more of a mental thing, in that I wondered, ‘Can I still do this?’” Ricciardo admits.

“There was a bit of doubt sometimes, but you knew that was going to pass even if you felt it was there. Mentally, these days I can get ready to go from the start.

“On the second lap I did [in Barcelona], I went through turn nine – fastest corner on the track – completely flat-out. So my brain was right, but physically it’s a different story.

DANIEL RICCIARDO ON HIS HUNGER FOR A HOME PODIUM FINISH

“Your body is in shock and after two days I was as stiff as a board, but that’s normal. You can do as much physical training in the off-season, train the house down, but those first days are always going to hurt.”

With testing coming to a close in late February, all eyes and most minds immediately picture Albert Park, which has opened the F1 season for the majority of its 25 years on the calendar.

For Ricciardo, like Webber before him, the season-opener is one-third exhilarating, twothirds exhausting.

The well-wishes that come with being the only local driver on the grid are balanced with the endless stream of commitments that can make actually driving the car the most peace Ricciardo will find all weekend.

It’s an intensity that, in part, perhaps explains why no Australian has finished on the podium in their home grand prix. “I love Melbourne, but sometimes I wish Melbourne would love me back,” Ricciardo grins.

Looking further ahead than Melbourne, Ricciardo admits “there’s a lot going on” in 2020.

Out of contract at the end of the season, he’ll have no shortage of potential suitors.

Clouding the picture further is that F1 is set to undergo a regulatory revolution for 2021, with next year’s cars to look markedly different to their predecessors with slimline bodywork atop lowprofile tyres tethered to 18-inch wheels, and operated under a cost cap for the first time.

Trying to be in the right place at the right time with so much in flux is, understandably, high on Ricciardo’s wish list.

It’s a balancing act, but one Ricciardo feels well equipped to handle.

Come race day at Albert Park, he’ll be primed for that white-knuckle moment when he and 19 of his colleagues react to the starting lights going out, a split second that heralds the beginning of a new season.

What happens after that is difficult to predict and even harder to control.

But any success one of our most popular athletes enjoys will have had its genesis on a dusty far-flung farm, a place where this most authentic of Australian sports stars goes to rest up, reload, and ride again. ●

EDUCATION

Growing awareness Practical programs help students learn the true value of giving back.

F

undraising for worthy causes is a staple within school communities, yet even with the best intentions students often don’t fully understand where the money goes, or the impact it can have. At Haileybury, that changed last year when a clever social justice program was embedded in the curriculum.

Year 6 students across the school’s four campuses raised money to purchase solar lamps from a charity called SolarBuddy. They constructed the lights themselves and sent them to Cambodia, where onethird of school-age children live in homes with no electricity, and the other two-thirds experience frequent outages.

Letters were written to accompany the lights, and in due course there was a heartwarming reply in the

Haileybury post, accompanied by photos of Cambodian children reading those letters under their new lamps – 300 in all, which over three years will provide 657,000 safe study hours.

“What is great about this program,” says Haileybury’s head of teaching and learning, Middle School, Melissa Allen, “is that the students were studying energy poverty and were then introduced to the SolarBuddy program, and then they constructed the lights themselves.

“The majority of students at the start of the program didn’t understand what energy poverty meant. To look at the difference at the end of the unit, when they’d constructed the lights, written the letter and were sharing those photos with the Cambodian students, was amazing.”

Exploring fair and just relations between the individual and society has an ancient footprint in schooling, yet “social justice” continues to grow in student consciousness as schools strive to develop strong, resilient and intelligent young people.

Wesley College is this year celebrating 20 years of the “Clunes Experience”, where year 9 students spend eight weeks living in the historic gold mining town north of Ballarat. Along with the challenges of shared living that foster greater independence, Wesley has become a real part of the community.

“Our program is very firmly connected to the local town,” head of Wesley at Clunes Ben Marsland says. “That’s one of the key elements that sets it apart from other residential learning programs.

“We’re engaged in significant events during the year, from Anzac Day services to the Agricultural Society Show and the Booktown Festival each May. “As part of our communities rotation, students offer literacy and numeracy support at the primary school and kindergarten, and volunteer at local businesses, which is a great way of learning the characters and stories of the town.”

Social justice covers considerable ground. While current Clunes Experience students are supporting BlazeAid to rebuild fences destroyed in preChristmas fires at nearby Lexton, at St Aloysius College in North Melbourne there is a focus on recycling and renewable energy through “Code Green”, a new initiative being tackled by the school’s social justice group.

“We look at issues like homelessness, the sick, caring for creation and the environment,” says St Aloysius’ Catholic mission and mercy ethos leader Michael Chesser. “Drawing from the Catholic tradition of caring for everything and everyone in society, everyone deserves to be treated fairly, including animals.”

With social justice effectively embedded in the school curriculum, St Aloysius took the next step by forming a group that meets roughly fortnightly during lunchtime. Students from years 7 to 12 attend, forging bonds across year levels while discussing real-life issues, increasing their awareness of issues and connecting with bodies such as McAuley Community Service for Women. ●

Me & My Mentor

SIENA PITRUZZELLO & CHLOE DEMPSEY

Y

ear 9 student Siena Pitruzzello and head of percussion Chloe Dempsey are both accomplished drummers. Chloe has been teaching Siena percussion, and specifically honing her drumming skills, for the past five years. Both look forward to their weekly music sessions. ● SARAH MARINOS

My dad plays electric guitar and did a lot of gigs when he was younger. He was in five different bands and played rock songs, metal and pop. I grew up with music.

We had a studio at home and I remember being about two years old and having a box of percussion instruments. Dad would play his guitar and I’d jam with him. From that age I always wanted to play drums.

I’ve been at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School since the Early Learning Centre and began playing drums in grade 5.

There is something special about the sound of drumming and feeling the beat in my heart. The first class I had with Chloe I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect but each week I look forward to our sessions.

About six months after I started classes with Chloe, I entered a competition and played a duet and a drum solo. I wrote the solo myself and remember getting marked good to excellent and Chloe and I were pretty happy about that.

Drumming gives me an adrenalin rush and it’s also a great way of relieving any tension.

I practise two hours a day at home and when I come to classes with Chloe, we play our favourite rock and pop songs.

We have similar tastes in music and I see her more as a mentor than a teacher because she gives me plenty of freedom to follow my interests but is always there push me to do better each time. The best advice she’s given me is “go slower” so I focus on my technique.

I’d like to study music after high school and to create a business that has a music aspect to it.

Drumming will always be part of my life and it’s a highlight for me when Chloe and I set up two drum kits and play together.

STEPHEN MCKENZIE

SIENA SAYS…

R O C K S O LI D

CHLOE SAYS… I began teaching percussion at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School 10 years ago. I knew the previous percussion teacher set a high standard and I was keen to build on that. They have some of the best instruments here and we have grown from four to 36 girls studying percussion including drum kit, xylophone, marimba, timpani and other instruments in the percussion family.

I enjoy the passion that comes with teaching percussion. They practise and it builds their confidence when they can play something new. I think the girls enjoy being able to play contemporary music, too. We do play classical music but they like playing a song they hear on the radio.

Dad was a drummer and I always thought he was cool so I wanted to do what he did. I started learning to play drums in year 7; I was told in primary school that I couldn’t because I was a girl! I

studied music through high school and at university and I spent six months at New York University, too.

After university I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be a full-time musician so I began teaching percussion.

I get so much joy in seeing the girls get excited when they realise they can play something new.

Watching someone like Siena go from not being able to co-ordinate a simple rock beat to playing gigs herself has been incredible. She grasps things so quickly. I teach her something hard and she gets it within seconds.

I let Siena follow her interests in my class. She brings in songs that she wants to learn and I choose pieces for her that I think will challenge her. It’s a collaboration. I’ve learned from her, too.

Siena is a natural. If she continues developing her skills, she’ll be a better drummer than me. If I couldn’t do a gig, I would recommend her, she’s that good! ●

Miracles do, in fact, occasionally happen in the inner north.

Here’s a prime example: an affordable chance to buy into the increasingly desirable, and constantly changing, Collingwood. The north-facing terrace lets plenty of sunshine in, and its design reflects the warehouses of the neighbourhood.

Entering through a private courtyard, you’ll reach the downstairs living and dining area, which flows nicely into the kitchen. There’s plenty of space for bulk cooking here: it comes with a Belling double oven. The floor is polished epoxy concrete, which just screams inner city.

This communal downstairs space opens to the outdoor entertaining area through bifold doors.

But there’s more downstairs, including a powder room, laundry and the stairway.

Head up the stairs to find this residence’s two bedrooms, one of which is north-facing and brings in plenty of light for its occupant. Up here it’s all about the angles, and both bedrooms have their own, separate entries into the modern upstairs bathroom. Yes, it does come with a bath.

As for the rest of the house, split-system heating and cooling keep the temperature regulated throughout the whole space.

These are interesting times in Collingwood. The change in the suburb continues, with the most recent high-profile example being the Collingwood Yards arts precinct.

This four-bedroom house has been in one Thornbury family’s hands for more than 60 years. From the street, the wide frontage is its most notable feature, extending to about 20 metres. The living room looks over the front porch and seamlessly flows into the dining room, and then the kitchen/meals area out the back. A separate lounge room offers more space for socialising, and access to one of the bedrooms. The other bedrooms all circle a central bathroom with bath, and the powder room. The large backyard offers plenty of storage options thanks to the double garage with store, a cellar and separate shed. Station Street and High Street are both nearby. � ANDERS FURZE Agent: Love & Co, Bill Kyriakopoulos 0419 008 008 Price: $1.4 million-$1.5 million Auction: 1.30pm, March 14

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs, formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

Tuesday – Sunday 4.30pm – 9.30pm. CLOSED MONDAYS.

REASONS TO SMILE PREFERRED PROVIDER FOR HCF MEMBERS FAMILY FOCUSED DENTAL CLINIC STATE OF THE ART FACILITIES LATE NIGHT TUESDAY GENTLE DENTISTRY OPEN SATURDAY

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

We take time and care to provide gentle dentistry to make your experience as relaxing and comfortable as possible.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

Dr. Simone Cromarty, Dr. Angela Chao & Dr. Amy Chao are experienced dentists with Australian qualifications.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.
