The Canadian qualifying was all over the place with multiple Red Flags and ever-changing conditions. With the track getting wetter by the second, it was a race to see who could get out on the track first. As a result, cars lined up in the pitlane. Unfortunately, George Russell’s car was parked in front of the Red Bull pit wall. And guess who was there? Yes, it was Daniel Ricciardo and he was caught showing the middle finger to Russell as he had a big grin on his face.

However, during the post-race interviews, George Russell gave an appropriate reply to the shenanigans of Daniel Ricciardo. Russell said, “There was a rogue Australian fan in the pit lane as well at some point when I was… Don’t know what it was. He like, stuck his finger up when I was waiting. It was around the Red Bull area.”
