“No the People Wanting Them To…”: Daniel Ricciardo Turns Down Lando Norris’ Advances After Fans’ Bizarre Request

The relationship between Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris has arguably turned into a late blossoming bromance. The Australian and Brit partnership was a guaranteed success at McLaren. However, Ricciardo never really settled in at McLaren.

But ever since the news became public that Ricciardo will be leaving the team at the end of 2022, he and his teammate have somewhat gotten closer. During the Mexican Grand Prix weekend, the pair had a moment in front of the fans. It’s safe to say, Twitter was swarmed by F1 fans who reacted to and shared the moment online.

Daniel Ricciardo hasn’t matched up to Norris this season. But that does not mean that the Brit doesn’t have any respect for the Honey Badger. On the contrary, ever since the news came out, Norris has arguably been full of praise for Ricciardo.

Hence, it wasn’t surprising that they did get along well at this weekend’s fan meet. In addition, fans still went gaga over the whole moment.

Even though the pair have not really been openly as close as they are with other drivers, it was heartwarming to see some love between the two teammates.

The McLaren pair have been on cordial terms throughout their stint together. However, they possibly never got to the heights that Norris did with Sainz at the Papaya team, in terms of both results and a relationship.
