Daniel Ricciardo had enough reasons to be a disgruntled employee at McLaren after his treatment. However, the Australian took everything on his chin and exited the Woking outfit gracefully. Ricciardo’s replacement, Oscar Piastri, was the winner from his early termination. However, that did not give Ricciardo enough reason to dislike the Australian. In fact, the two might be getting along better than anyone could’ve hoped.

The Australians are on different spectrums of their Formula 1 journey. However, neither let the unfortunate entanglement of their careers affect their personal relationships. In fact, Ricciardo even expressed his despair over Piastri’s treatment after his McLaren announcement.

Regardless, that is all in the past now. A fan spotted and posted a photo on Reddit of the two Australians together in Piastri’s hometown of Melbourne. The new McLaren man drove Ricciardo around the city in his new McLaren 720S, which retails for around $300k.

No one could’ve expected the young Melbourne-born to drive Ricciardo around in the most unexpected carpool karaoke combination. The photo posted by the Reddit user spread like wildfire and started trending on various social media platforms.
