$50 Million Daniel Ricciardo Flying High in $35K Vehicle Leaves Fans Taking Jabs at McLaren While Enjoying Their Hero

If there is one driver that has benefitted from being forced out of a racing seat, it’s Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian received the heart-wrenching decision from McLaren back during the 2022 summer break. However, a disappointing aspect for more turned into a blessing in disguise for the Honey Badger. The Australian is catching up on life and doing things he enjoys while taking his sabbatical and the fans are loving this side of Ricciardo.

Daniel Ricciardo made the conscious choice of staying away from a racing seat in 2023 despite offers. The Australian believed the mental toll his time with McLaren and overall in F1 has taken on him needs to be undone. Unemployment is not a concern as the Australian has accumulated a cool $50 million for himself. So as far as we can see, the Australian is undoing all the mental stress in his free time and enjoying himself while he is at it.

Ricciardo shared another instance of him undoing all the mental stress with a video he posted on his Instagram. However, the professionalism within Ricciardo is making him a better racer, even on a $35k ATV. He revealed that in the post’s caption.

The caption read, “My friend taught me how to minimise tyre deg 🛫 @polarisorv_aus”. Ricciardo’s learning new tricks even during his downtime. The basic concept is to not let the tyres touch the ground if one wants to reduce tyre degradation.
