Daniel Ricciardo Poking Fun at Max Verstappen’s Doppelganger From $6,000,000,000 Worth Hollywood Franchise Leaves Fans in Splits

An established Daniel Ricciardo and the young prodigy Max Verstappen were teammates at Red Bull. The duo shared a connection that the world hailed, calling them Maxiel. It was all a happy family until it wasn’t. Fast forward to the time when Dany in his Renault outfit asked Max Verstappen if he missed him, making the world definitely miss the duo but never hope they’d reunite years later. Now that they are back together, as a force of habit, Ricciardo couldn’t resist making fun of Verstappen.

Daniel Ricciardo is the goofiest man to set foot in Formula 1. From barging into the AlphaTauri garage and singing “Pieeeerre Gassllllly” to hitting his ex-teammate Lando Norris with a space hopper, the man has given us the most hilarious moments. As Christian Horner boasts of bringing the iconic honey badger the smile back to him, the Australian fulfilled his end of the bargain with jokes. And this time he has done it at the expense of his old teammate and friend, Verstappen.

We have often seen Daniel on Red Bull’s social media pages. The very popular Australian sat down with Sergio Perez and Max when the F1 circus went racing in Australia and now we can see the three are reunited again. In the video, we can see a hysterically laughing Ricciardo saying he has found Verstappen’s lookalike. He goes on to show it to Checo, who bursts into laughter as well. In the end, when Max lets out an embarrassing laugh, it is revealed that the doppelgänger is actually Sid from Ice Age.

Fans unanimously chime in to affirm the Max Verstappen resemblance

The $6 Billion worth movie franchise, Ice Age, has a hyperactive and peculiar character called Sid, which is actually a sloth. While Verstappen is no sloth on the track, the internet, especially the F1 Twitter, agrees with Ricciardo’s observation. The uncanny resemblance has taken Twitter by storm.
