Daniel Ricciardo is one of the most loved drivers in Formula One. People know the McLaren driver for his funny antics as well as his bright, big smile. The Aussie driver loves to joke and pull pranks on people and he is also not afraid to laugh at himself from time to time either.
One of his most popular interviews was with a kid who mispronounced his name. The kid called the 8-time race winner ‘Daniel Avocado’ instead of Daniel Ricciardo.
Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of memes based on the incident. His current teammate Lando Norris also joined in the fun. The young Brit mentioned the meme while explaining the ingredients in his wrap.
