Lewis Hamilton had never been fond of Daniel Ricciardo’s famous ‘shoey’ celebration and has even rejected the Australian’s offer on multiple occasions.
Considering his disinterest, a few weeks back, the Briton shockingly decided to drink out of Ricciardo’s shoe during the podium ceremony at Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. However, the seven-time world champion revealed that following the “great moment” with Ricciardo, he had a regretful afternoon.
Lewis on doing the shoey with Daniel: “I had a stomachache for the rest of the afternoon.” 😆
Daniel also sent Lewis his racing boot.

During an interview, Lewis Hamilton was asked about how his shoey experience was with Ricciardo. Lewis reacted, “Oh god! I had a stomachache for the rest of the afternoon.”
Although he has never been quite interested in enjoying the celebration with Ricciardo, he later affirmed that he opted for it on the podium in Imola and explained the reason behind his sudden interest in giving it a try. “You know, I’m very much in the mindset, never say never,” he said.
However, the after-effects will definitely have deflated his hopes of doing it again anytime in the future. “Although I don’t want to do it again, I think it was a really great moment,” Lewis clarified.

Ricciardo started the tradition of drinking the champagne out of his boot back in 2016, following the German Grand Prix. The first person to join the Australian was his compatriot, Mark Webber, at the Belgian Grand Prix the same year.
Eventually, his tradition found steam as more drivers were eager to join Ricciardo for the unique celebration on the podium. At the Malaysian Grand Prix, he shared the moment with his boss, Christian Horner, his then-teammate, Max Verstappen, and Nico Rosberg.
