Gallery: Daniel Ricciardo's Supercars laps

Renault Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo enjoyed a very different pre-Australian Grand Prix media activity on Wednesday.

Before the 2019 F1 season opener, with his home grand prix also his Renault debut, Ricciardo visited Calder Park Raceway near Melbourne to drive a Supercar.

Through mutual sponsor Castrol, Ricciardo jumped into Rick Kelly's Altima to try the very different piece of machinery.

On-track action at Albert Park starts on Thursday for Kelly in Supercars' Beaurepaires Melbourne 400 and Friday for Ricciardo in F1.
