Daniel Ricciardo completed the Australian Grand Prix at P6. This was the first time in four years that the Australian scored points at his home, Grand Prix. Mclaren’s poor form seemed to avoid them at the Australian Grand Prix. Both Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo finished a well-fought Grand Prix.
Lando finished the race at P5 and right behind him, Daniel finished the race at P6. An excellent result for Mclaren as they scored points off of both the drivers. Something they are aiming for all the races to come.

In the latest podcast from F1 Nation on spotify, host Tom Clarkson asked this exact question to Daniel’s mother. Tom asked, “When he gets up there and he’s drinking champagne, out of a shoe that he’s been driving around the track in for 58 laps, is that your idea as well?”.

After his first at the German Grand Prix in 2016, Daniel has gotten a lot of opportunities to do the shoey. But nearly not enough if you were to ask the Australian. Podium finishes have come rarely since his switch from Red Bull, but Daniel is hopeful about his future with Mclaren.
Finishing his Australian Grand Prix at a high, Daniel will hope for at least one shoe in the current season.
