Formula 1 is in the United States for the second time this season for the US Grand Prix at COTA. As Daniel Ricciardo is also in the States, he made sure he makes a mark with his fashion statements, just like he always does.

However, it is not just the Australian who is making a statement. Bryce Harper, the American professional baseball player, who once signed the richest contract worth $330 million, was seen sporting the merch of the McLaren driver. The Philadelphia Phillies player donned Daniel Ricciardo merchandise ahead of their game against San Diego Padres.

Tim Hauraney, a contributor for F1 in North America, retweeted the photo on his official Twitter handle with the caption, “Bryce Harper rocking some Daniel Ricciardo Merch today! #MLB #F1 crossover.”

Earlier, Harper’s team Philadelphia Phillies shared a photo of the player wearing a bright blue suit and a hat with “Howdy” written on it on their Twitter handle.

Ricciardo, who goes out of the sport next year, is a big-time fan of American sports, including NBA and NFL, and has been an ardent fan of Major League Baseball as well. In return, the Honey Badger has received support from the stars of these sports.

Daniel Ricciardo found support from Sebastian Vettel

The McLaren driver found his much-needed support from his former Red Bull teammate, Sebastian Vettel. The current Aston Martin driver who’ll leave the sport at the end of this season shared positive words for the man from the Land Down Under who is still without a seat for next year.

In a recent interview, the German driver shared, “I think, even if he [Ricciardo] has struggled a little bit, which is fair to say but there’s more in him and I still rate him very very high. I find it a bit sad.”

“In the end, I don’t think the McLaren team is happy for him to leave, I think the top people are calling the shots which might be less than a handful of people, where’s the rest of the team, I’m quite sure that they absolutely love Daniel.”

“It’s a shame that it didn’t work, but I wish him that he finds a great position in the grid,” concluded Vettel.

Apart from Vettel, Ricciardo also found supporting words from another F1 big shot, Lewis Hamilton. However, Ricciardo is still to find himself a seat for the next season after getting replaced by compatriot Oscar Piastri for the 2023 F1 season.
