The reason for this meet-up is even more intriguing. Through a small experiment, Daniel Ricciardo and Lachlan Power are trying to determine who has the better reaction time. This is a very controversial question that has sparked quite many debates on the internet.

The test began with both of them trying to catch a scale mid-air. The ruler was dropped at an unexpected time, and each of them had to catch it before it touched the ground. Interestingly, both of them caught it and got awarded equal points. The next one was drop ball catching. A person had a ball in each hand, and the participant had to catch the one which was unexpectedly dropped. Completing this will determine the winner. The Fortnite streamer went first, and out of the three tries he had, he only caught one.

But when Daniel Ricciardo came to compete, it was totally different. He did not even look at the hands, and with his peripheral vision caught each falling ball. Thus making him the winner of the reaction challenge.
