The Red Bull protege has taken a Hispania race seat, and qualified and finished last on his debut at Silverstone - although he had been quicker than team-mate Tonio Liuzzi in some practice sessions.
"I'm satisfied with my first race finish in Silverstone at the wheel of the HRT Formula 1 team car," said Ricciardo.
"It was nice to finish and get the first race and experience under my belt. Ideally I would have liked to be closer to my rivals but that's the aim for this race.
"I have learnt that there is a lot more to the tyres and managing them than I thought. For now this is one of the main things I need to learn quickly about."
He added: "My goal this time is to finish the race and close the gap to my competitors and to Tonio."
