However, he pointed out that there is still a lot to be happy about. “But we’re still like living a very cool life and I feel like sometimes it’s taken for granted and the attitude can be somewhat spoilt,” he further added.

Formula 1 is a highly competitive sport. The grid has only twenty positions and hundreds of thousands of individuals fight for those 20 positions. Sometimes, the pressure could be insurmountable.

Due to the pressure, things can get difficult to handle. Most drivers are young and the competition could take over their life. Ricciardo pointed out, “Yeah, I frown upon that sometimes for sure.”

On a lighter note, Daniel Ricciardo explained what a shoey tastes like. “Shoey tastes like roses,” he said.

“The trick, though, is whatever beverage you’re going to put in it, has to be alcoholic, it has to be cold. The cold, the kind of the chill, kills all the other stuff going on in the shoe,” he further added.

Daniel Ricciardo is currently fighting for P4 with 95 points on the driver standings. However, he is in close competition with Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez. Ricciardo fans will surely be hoping for another trademark celebration, maybe he will rope in another member to his celebration club this weekend.
