Daniel Ricciardo is going to be in New York City for the RB19 launch on February 3rd. So, he also took a little detour to appear on the talk show with Stephen Colbert a night prior to the launch.

According to The Late Show’s Instagram post, Ricciardo answered Colbert’s question about how he feels he contributed to the rise in popularity for F1 and Netflix’s Drive to Survive. Daniel said, “I was probably going to say something serious. But ultimately, it’s probably my good looks.” On this answer, the audience erupted in cheers as expected.
