In F1, celebrations on the podium are as iconic as the victories themselves. From Ayrton Senna’s emotional raising of the Brazilian flag, Lewis Hamilton’s signature “dab” to Daniel Ricciardo’s infamous “Shoey” or his daring jump into the Monaco harbor, these celebrations have become legendary in their own right. However, during the 2023 Canadian GP, Max Verstappen captured attention with a “strongman” move, that caught the attention of commentators, our Honey Badger Daniel Ricciardo, alongside actor Will Arnett.

Even though Ricciardo is not racing this season, he ensures his presence is evident. Ricciardo made his debut anchoring for ESPN in Montreal, and it was indeed a special day for the Aussie. The Canadian Grand Prix also marked a significant milestone for both Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen. Max secured his 41st career win, equaling the late Ayrton Senna’s tally. Additionally, the race marked Red Bull’s 100th F1 victory. On such a special Daniel added his spice with some nice banter on Verstappen’s move.
