What does Daniel Ricciardo credit for his first-ever pole position at the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix and Red Bull’s first pole since 2013? Balls. Big Australian balls, to be exact.

Via ESPN:

Asked if pole was more down to the new engine or ‘big Australian balls’ he smiled and said: “Big Australian balls!”

He went on to say: “I think I will probably sleep easier tonight. I think the whole week has been a lot of anticipation, a lot of excitement... Monaco has always been a good race for me in previous categories. Yeah, it’s a good day.”
