during the Spanish Formula One Grand Prix at Circuit de Catalunya on May 14, 2017 in Montmelo, Spain.

Daniel Ricciardo, may still call Australia home, but like the majority of his fellow Formula One drivers, has made the glamourous town of Monaco his home.

Therefore, this weekend's sixth round of the season is a second home event for the Red Bull Racing driver, who is looking forward to going home to his own bed at the end of each day.

Daniel was on his way to victory here in 2016 after securing a brilliant pole position, however the win was not meant to be. This time out however, could be a very different story…

You've been a Monaco resident for a while now – to the degree that we could call this your second home race?
In theory I could walk to work while we are in Monaco, it is still a bit of a way but it could be done! Luckily for me though we get boats to the Energy Station, which is a nice change. Being able to sleep in your own bed and complain about the noise is also a treat.

It's home turf in a different way, as you're on record as saying that this is your favourite circuit.
Yeah, Monaco is definitely my favourite track to drive; it is so tight and intimidating. From the outside some of the sequences look impossible to go through at the speeds we do. Once you are in the car it's an amazing feeling. If you kiss the wall it actually makes you want to do it again as opposed to scaring you. The whole spectacle of the weekend just makes it something unique and special.

The thrills are sometimes accompanied by spills, and though you took your first career pole there last year, there was heartbreak in the race. Is there unfinished business there?
Last year was disappointing for me as I felt we definitely had the win on the cards. I'm old enough and mature enough now to put that behind me and be able to look forward to racing there, and take back what I felt I lost last year. I don't think I could have gone any quicker on my pole lap. Personally I felt it went really well, one of the best laps I have ever done. If I do win the trophy it is staying with me. NO REPLICAS!
