When McLaren signed Daniel Ricciardo from Renault, they had one of the most exciting driver’s lineups. Ricciardo partnering up with one of the best young prospects, Lando Norris, got many McLaren fans excited. However, the Australian’s tenure in the Woking-based team has been disappointing, to say the least.

McLaren endured a difficult race last time out in Suzuka. Their rivals Alpine, on the other hand, really grabbed the opportunities with both hands and opened a 13-point gap over McLaren. Moreover, Daniel Ricciardo’s contract fiasco didn’t help their cause either, with the Australian becoming the unfortunate victim.

Despite the recent poor performances, one thing that has not changed is the fruitful friendship between Lando and Daniel in their time together. The duo has given a lot of iconic moments to motorsport fans in the last two years. In the latest video of the McLaren duo, they can be seen taking the start-stop challenge in Austin.

In the video, Daniel and Lando can be seen asking each other questions about themselves and having a jolly good time.
