On F1: Beyond The Grid Podcast, Ricciardo said, “It really just started as a bit of a p*ss-take.” He continued, “We (Daniel and Natalie Pinkham’s husband, Owain Walbyoff) love UFC. We spend a lot of social time together. When the time is right, we enjoy a drink, and it just became something silly what we were just like, Cheers, and we were like, hmm, Enchante,”
He further continued, “And introduce ourselves and then like, you know you have a few drinks and you start acting as a kid and introduce ourselves like, Enchante. It was just something silly, but it made us always giggle. It made us always feel like the idiots we are.”
Daniel ended his McLaren stint with a P9 finish in Abu Dhabi. The Australian will hope he can return to the grid and drive in F1 again.
