The Aussie driver is a fan of tattoos and he has many tattoos himself. But now he developed a hobby of pushing others into getting tattoos. As he got a tattoo on his Renault boss last season, which was the part of their bet that Daniel needs to finish at the podium in 2020 and Ricciardo won the bet.

Later, when the Honey Badger joined the Woking base, the McLaren CEO refused to have any tattoo bet with Ricciardo. But Brown eventually got the Monza circuit inked on his arm to honor Ricciardo and Norris’s 1-2 finish in Monza.

Ricciardo also reveals his reason for choosing Norris, “I want to say Andreas, so maybe Andreas or I mean Lando. Because not to like stereotype but for me, Lando does not look like a tattoo person. Like some people would look good and others are like, I don’t think it’s for him. So, I think a tattoo is not for Lando. So, for that reason, maybe he should be a target.”

Further, he shares his idea for Lando’s tattoo, “I would get him like an anchor, like an old sailor. He did a photoshoot recently, and he looked a little bit like a sailor. So I have this image in my head like an old sailor tattoo.”
