“What’s something surprising you have learned about each other as teammates?” asked a fan, to which Daniel hilariously replied, “Lando is probably the easiest person to make laugh.

“I felt like a lot of people probably wanted us to be best friends from day one. And it was something that we couldn’t really force and it did take a bit of time to really create a good relationship.”
“But in saying that, there wasn’t tension or anything, it was just that we were trying to figure each other out. Currently, where I sit today, I think we have a very good relationship,” revealed the 32-year-old driver.
