Daniel Ricciardo has great skills behind the wheel and also a great sense of fashion. However, instead of being disappointed not to be invited to the prestigious Met Gala, like his colleague Lewis Hamilton; the Australian was actually pleased not to have been there.

The McLaren driver feels that fashion has changed, and he wouldn’t fit in with the crowd. However, he does agree that being invited to such an event is once in a lifetime experience.

Speaking on the podcast, Padron my Take, Ricciardo said, “After seeing some of the images not really. Look I mean, the way some of the fashion is now, I think you probably could get away that.”
