WATCH:Ricciardo Talks About Music, Films and Being an Australian

Its very rare to find an F1 fan who isn’t a fan of Daniel Ricciardo. He is fast, blazing fast, dedicated and moreover one of the funniest guys in the paddock. That large grim of his is as iconic as anything else.

Daniel Ricciardo has given us many memorable moments over the years. In 2014, he schooled Vettel taking the only 3 victories of Red Bull Racing that year, finishing third behind the Mercedes duo. Then came shoey: a celebration that he occasionally did over the podiums that came became such a sensation that Liberty went ahead and got a trademark for the same. 

During the ongoing Mexican Grand Prix, he took Sky Sports’ reporter David Croft for a few hot laps around the circuit in an Aston Martin. Croft asked him a few questions meanwhile, the replies of all of which were nothing short of remarkable. The reactions of Croft are brilliant to watch as well.  Watch the interview below :

Q: What was the last time you cried watching a movie?
A: I was on a plane, and I always get vulnerable when I’m on a plane. I was watching Fault in our Stars. It was a chick flick, but very emotional.
