Formula 1 is indeed a space dedicated for drivers, grasping onto immense on-track racing skills. And interestingly, some of those drivers have quite interesting talents outside the world of motorsport. Well, according to George Russell, and other F1 drivers, Daniel Ricciardo possesses one such talent.
The soon-to-be Mercedes driver opined that Ricciardo is talented enough and more importantly funny enough to host a TV show, which he suggested could go by the name, ‘Keeping up with the Ricciardo’s.’
We’ve already got some famous late-night show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, and Ellen DeGeneres. So, like some of the F1 colleagues reckon, can Ricciardo get himself into the mix?

Russell said, “It’s got to be Danny Ric! I’d definitely tune in for Keeping up with the Ricciardo’s!”

Meanwhile, his Twitch quartet mate, Norris, opined, “Daniel is a funny guy, he could probably have his own one, he likes talking as well.”
While Schumacher felt Ricciardo is “funny” by nature, Tsunoda reckoned that the Australian owns the best character. “He has the best character,” the Japanese driver said.

The Honey Badger suggested that he could be a part of a TV show at some point in his career. Of course, he’s already been a guest in a TV show, Top Gear. So, maybe, the time will come soon where Ricciardo will be on the other side of the show.

“I probably will get into some form of TV at some point, whether it will be on my own accord or if I don’t put myself in there – I don’t know! There are not that many real personalities in the sport… I am a real one, y’all!” the McLaren driver said.
