“Checo Is Third Wheeling”: Daniel Ricciardo’s Renewed Bromance With Max Verstappen Makes Fans Fall in Love With Red Bull Again

“I don’t have friends, I have a family.” This is exactly what Red Bull must be thinking when Daniel Ricciardo made a comeback this year. After 3 years of uncompromised with Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo is back and the signs of the promised Bromance can already be seen. A recently surfaced video has made the internet go gaga over the Max-Daniel bromance whilst Checo is left feeling lonely.

Daniel Ricciardo’s Mclaren contract was closed a year earlier when McLaren decided to sign Oscar Piastri. However, instead of looking for another team, the Australian decided to take a year off F1. However, Red Bull managed to sign Ricciardo as a reserve driver for the 2023 season. The news overwhelmed the F1 community and welcomed the Australian to the place where he belongs. After racing with Red Bull for 5 seasons, the Austrian team must feel like coming back home to Ricciardo.

In a recent video uploaded by Red Bull racing’s Instagram page, Daniel Ricciardo is seen welcoming Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez to his home country as the Australian GP gets around the corner. The Australian asks the Mexican and the Dutchman some questions about Australia. Ricciardo said, “it’s an Aussie quiz, hence why I’m hosting it“. Daniel Ricciardo goes on to ask the Red Bull drivers some slang and typical questions related to Australia.

The Red Bull drivers, especially Ricciardo and Verstappen, seem to be having a lot of fun and getting along very well. A duo of Australian and Dutchman have previously been teammates and were famous for their bromance at that time. The F1 community has gotten excited over the potential of the Bromance making a comeback after the release of the video.
