Daniel Ricciardo has the Russian Grand Prix to worry about this weekend.

But that doesn’t mean the Perth Formula1 ace isn’t thinking about his team back home ahead of their grand final clash against Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday.

Ricciardo, West Coast’s former No.1 ticketholder, donned the blue and gold during Red Bull’s media day, following through on his promise to wear the team’s colours.

The Duncraig racer used his time off in between races to catch his beloved Eagles knock off Melbourne in last Saturday’s preliminary final.

“When they win – a bit of confidence here – I’ll get something in the form of an Eagle on or around me next weekend,” Ricciardo said ahead of last weekend’s win.

“I’m in Russia when you guys are hopefully at the ‘G. I’d rather be at the ‘G, to be honest.”

Ricciardo, currently six in the drivers championship, will take to the track tonight in Sochi for two practice sessions.

The final practice session takes place tomorrow followed by qualifying, with the main event on Sunday.
