Daniel Ricciardo is widely regarded as a funny man and with good reason too. Recently, his former team, Red Bull had a fairly decent test session, albeit with a few hiccups. Those mistakes came in the form of new recruit, Pierre Gasly crashing twice. While in an interview after his run in the Renault, the subject of Red Bull and Gasly’s crashes cropped up.

Without missing a beat, Ricciardo took a stab at the Austrian outfit, much to everyone’s amusement. The exchange went like this, “Pierre has already crashed the car twice.”

“Well, I spared a lot of money when it comes to broken cars”

In all honesty, if there was a driver’s championship for humour, Ricciardo would definitely win.

A few days ago, he even spoke about why he elected to leave Red Bull and ex-teammate Max Verstappen. As expected, the Australian chose to take the path of more laughter.

He said, “We got sick of each other after a while”.

Funnily enough, some fans even came up with the estimates of how expensive it would be to repair the crashed cars. In fact, it was turned into a ‘World Destructor’s Championship’, which Gasly leads by a country mile.
