Formula One ace Daniel Ricciardo has revealed that he has only got eyes for one lady and that is his childhood girlfriend Jemma Boskovich, who he claims keeps him grounded and insists that the best thing about having her around him is her Australian accent.
Rich, famous and funny, Ricciardo has admitted that plenty of women have sought him out after his meteoric rise in a sport known as much for its glitz and glamour as break neck speed and excitement.
But the West Australian, who lives in Monaco, has claimed that he only has eyes for one, his high school sweetheart Jemma Boskovich, and he insists that the best thing about having her on the road with him or at home on the French Riviera was simply her nice Australian accent, News.com.au reported.
Ricciardo and his jewellery designer partner were year 12 ball partners at their Perth high school and are long-term friends from big families of Italian descent.
As he last year enjoyed an incredible breakthrough year that saw him win three Grands Prix and eight podium finishes for Red Bull racing, Ricciardo had Boskovich by his side most of the time.
Ricciardo claimed that their close relationship was a major reasons he remained grounded. He said that she doesn't need to say much, as he doesn't get out of line, but added that it is nice to have someone there, having company.
