Fresh from topping the timesheets during pre-season testing in Barcelona, Daniel Ricciardo joked there's money to be made by betting on him for world championship glory.
The Australian clocked a 1:18.047 around the Circuit de Catalunya -- an unofficial lap record -- on day two of the second and final Test before urging fans and friends to get behind him with bookmakers.
Most betting agencies have the Australian at 10:1 odds to win his first world drivers' title this year and when learning of his juicy odds Ricciardo joked: "I'm not personally a betting man but a lot of my mates are, so if they're listening throw a cheeky $75,000 on it.
