Daniel Ricciardo: Last News

F1 driver has to master - but what happens if nature calls when you're halfway round the track?If you've ever looked at Formula One drivers kitted out in their race suits, locked into the cockpit, and wondered what happens when they need to relieve yourselves, you're not alone as Google's top search return when you enter 'do F1 drivers' finishes the sentence with 'pee'.So, what's the verdict? Well, simply the answer is yes, they do pee in their suits but many drivers have chosen not to and have been posed the question about their toilet habits previously in their career.In 2016, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton appeared on American television and was posed the question, where he responded by denying that he has ever done it but did reveal a big secret about his fellow seven-time championship winner Michael Schumacher.“You’re supposed to go in your suit, but I can’t do it. I’ve never done it.

Formula One fans have noticed Carlos Sainz's hilarious reaction to a bizarre interview he was involved in following the conclusion of the maiden Miami Grand Prix.The Spaniard saw-off late challenges from Red Bull's Sergio Perez to claim third, having started second on the grid but being immediately overtaken by Max Verstappen, in what represents a significant turn in fortunes for the Ferrari driver.Having been unable to finish the last Grand Prix at Imola after being hit by Daniel Ricciardo on the opening lap, a podium finish for Sainz was exactly the boost he needed ahead of his home Grand Prix in two weeks time in Barcelona.However, it wasn't all plain-sailing for Sainz though as a post-race interview left the driver visibly baffled by the approach of the interviewer - which didn't go unnoticed by Formula One fans.Sainz was told he did a 'great job baby' by the American interviewer, with footage showing him rolling his eyes following the completion of the interview as he was clearly left stunned by the rather odd approach from the comments. Fans were left equally confused, with @xminustDC saying: 'This post-F1 race interview with Sainz is very awkward.

Red Bull star Sergio Perez has slammed the state of the track in Miami ahead of the inaugural Grand Prix later this evening.Throughout practice and qualifying, drivers have been complaining about a lack of grip when they stray off the rubbered-in racing line, leading Perez to label the surface "a joke", and there are serious concerns that the track isn't up to usual Formula 1 standards."I think most importantly the surface is a joke," the Mexican driver said on Saturday. "Tomorrow the racing is going be difficult.

Michelle Obama led a star-studded crowd at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix on Saturday, as Hollywood A-listers mingled with sporting royalty at the Miami International Autodrome to watch the qualifying action. The former first lady, 58, enjoyed a warm embrace with seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton before watching the action from his Mercedes team pit.

Daniel Ricciardo's future but admitted that the team are also considering other options to potentially take a seat alongside Lando Norris. The Australian is in his second season with McLaren but is yet to display his best form consistently for the team, with issues continuing this season that have seen him continue to be off the pace of his teammate Norris.While Norris is tied down to a long-term deal with the team, Ricciardo's future is under speculation with his current agreement due to expire at the end of 2023 and there have also been rumours that a new direction could be looked at.Asked about Ricciardo's position in the team and when discussions would take place, Brown was coy about what avenue McLaren would go down and made it clear there was 'no rush' for a decision to be made, as they weigh up the options that are ahead of them."Probably later this year.

Formula One this season.After a slow start to the season, McLaren showed significant growth across the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend with strong qualifying and finish in the Sprint - though their two drivers would encounter different fortunes in Sunday's race.While Norris was able to secure a podium, benefitting from a late spin from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo had an afternoon to forget after an early collision with Carlos Sainz left him at the back of the pack and out of the fight for points. McLaren went toe-to-toe with Ferrari for the 'best of the rest' tag in Formula One for the majority of last season but have encountered difficulties equalling their rivals' pace so far this term, though Fittipaldi believes that's set to change."I think McLaren, talking to Zak Brown, McLaren is working hard to develop. The new rules, the new car, I think they've improved.

Red Bull's title battle with Ferrari will be 'super-competitive' throughout the course of the season, with the result at Imola seeing the gap closed.Red Bull secured a rare 1-2 finish in Ferrari's home race, with Max Verstappen easing his way to victory ahead of Sergio Perez and McLaren's Lando Norris taking the final spot on the podium following Charles Leclerc's late error.The championship leader was chasing down Perez on soft tyres as he looked to increase his points tally and decrease the dent Verstappen was set to put on his advantage but suffered as a late spin led him to require another pit and a new front wing.Leclerc exited the pits in ninth and, while he took three places back to finish sixth, it resulted in a day to forget for Ferrari - with Carlos Sainz' race lasting just a few corners before contact with Daniel Ricciardo led to another unfinished race for the Spaniard.The result has rejuvenated Verstappen's title defence, having failed to finish two of the first three races, but Horner believes it's just one twist in a long and winding battle between the two teams that will last the entirety of the season."Ferrari has a great car, with great drivers, they've been unlucky in this race. They're going to be super-competitive in two weeks' time [in Miami] and I think it's going to be like that all season."Red Bull's points haul was made even more important following Leclerc's late spin, following on from Carlos Sainz' exit on the first lap, and Horner assessed that the mistake from the championship leader came because he was 'too greedy'.HAVE YOUR SAY! Who will emerge victorious in the hunt for the title? Comment below."He [Leclerc] was pushing very hard all race.

Formula One champion Emerson Fittipaldi has backed McLaren driver Lando Norris to emulate his career, stating the Brit has 'world champion material'.Norris have five podium finishes to his name so far in his career, though he is still seeking a maiden victory, but is widely regarded to be one of the most exciting young drivers on the grid. Last September, he was agonisingly close to a first win in Russia but late rain and poor decision making ultimately cost him that glory - though he finished a career-high sixth in the Driver's Championship last term. It's widely expected that Norris' first win isn't too far away and Brazilian Fittipaldi believes even bigger success is on the horizon.

Formula One pundit Ted Kravitz drank a shoe full of beer at the Australian Grand Prix.Footage showed the British reporter, 48, coming under peer pressure from the crowd to try what’s called a ‘shoey.' The concept involves pouring beer into a shoe and then proceeding to drink all of its contents.At Albert Park, Kravitz initially said that he would not do it - but then with the cameras rolling and the crowd around him becoming more fervent, he asked: "So who's shoe am I using then?" A Celtic fan then took his trainer off and it was filled with beer before being handed to Kravitz. Indeed, the Sky Sports reporter gladly obliged, gulping the beverage live on air with cheers from the bystanders watching on.
