The joker of the grid, Daniel Ricciardo, acts “real mature” in a recent Instagram post; the driver takes advantage of an empty pit board. Using a double innuendo, the driver gives his teammate a 15-second penalty from the stands. After a devastating race for the McLaren drivers at Hungary, Ricciardo looked to provide comedic relief on his Instagram.
The Aussie giggled uncontrollably as he held up a board reading ‘PEN15’ as Norris drove by. Ironically, Ricciardo posted his video moments after McLaren posted their own video decoding the meaning behind the pit board.

The two drivers were inseparable off-track and were often spotted playing golf together.

While ‘Carlando’ and ‘Maxiel’ still exist, Ricciardo and Norris may have finally started getting along. The two didn’t instantly click when Daniel arrived at McLaren. While laughs with Ricciardo are a given, their relationship differed greatly from what they had with their former teammates.
Norris accepted this, saying the age gap meant a difference in interest. “Our interests away from the circuit are very different; he’s more into making wines and clothing and things and I’m more into golf and Esports and those kinds of things, which Carlos was a bit more into.”

As a result, the two don’t spend too much time together off the track. However, McLaren’s ‘Unboxed’ video following the British GP gave fans hope, as it showed the teammates bonding with each other and cracking jokes. As Daniel refers to a pit board joke once made by Norris, it looks like the two are getting along; albeit in their own funny way.
