For quite some time, Daniel Ricciardo has been among the most loved F1 drivers, and Netflix’s Drive to Survive has further fueled his popularity. His laid-back demeanor is adored by fans everywhere, while his smile can brighten any day. He has won many admirers from all around the world because of his charming attitude, and that includes Hollywood actress Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard, who are now close to the Aussie.

This bond between the couple and the Red Bull driver has been seen over the years when the couple has visited Ricciardo’s garage during race weekends. But, this time it’s on display as we saw a drooling Ricciardo commenting, “Dude I drove one yesterday!! Soo good! I’m excited for you. I’m excited for us. Pick me up later,” on Dax’s post about a new truck, the $110K worth 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor.
