Ricciardo attempted to make a crepe with teammate Norris with the help of detailed printed instructions. And after making the crepe mix, Ricciardo began to pour his mix onto what he thought was the pan. However, what he thought was completely incorrect as Ricciardo was pouring his mix where the pan was supposed to be placed.
The lady interrupted Ricciardo, saying, “Ah, that’s not the pan.” A hysterical Ricciardo picks up a pan after the interruption and said, “Ah, you put that on top. I knew that!” And continued, “I was like that doesn’t seem right.”
Seeing this post, Gordon Ramsey also commented, “I’ll show you how to make a real pancake !!” Before that, he also reacted to a separate joke on Twitter.
