Daniel Ricciardo has reportedly been treated for a minor injury in hospital after a dirt bike accident in north Queensland.<\/p>\n
Just days after his first public appearance since leaving Formula 1, Ricciardo suffered a collarbone injury while riding through the Daintree National Forest, reports Planet F1.<\/p>\n
He is reported to have been in good spirits while being treated for the injury.<\/p>\n
Having lived a largely private life since his brutal F1 axing last year, Ricciardo was in Queensland for a real estate conference on the Gold Coast, spruiking a heavy beard.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I haven\u2019t been shaving my face,\u201d he said. \u201cThe beard is my comfort right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year has been a bit of self-exploration. I lived this crazy high-speed life for so long, and this year I\u2019ve sat into a little bit of stillness.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of time, I\u2019ve done some hiking. I was in Alaska a few weeks ago and didn\u2019t get mauled by a grizzly, which was a bonus.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to figure out who I am other than this racecar driver.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve come to appreciate the little things more and the meaning of the importance of family and friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always been driven, and that sometimes leads you to being selfish, so I\u2019m trying to learn to be a bit more selfless and become a better listener.\u201d<\/p>\n
