“The Flying Honey Badger”: Daniel Ricciardo Sends a Chill Up Fans’ Spine by Ditching F1 for a Scarier Adventure

When your schedule is crammed with travel, Grand Prix weekends, sponsor obligations, and a demanding training schedule, there isn’t much time left for hobbies. However, when it’s the off-season, drivers can be seen engaging in activities they enjoy. In a similar way, thrill seeker Daniel Ricciardo was spotted taking part in a terrifying experience that has gone viral online.

Daniel Ricciardo is well known for preferring adventures to spending time at home, ideally in front of a television. The Honey Badger just shared a post in which he was seen riding a mountain bike. Previously, the Australian had shown keen interest in motorbikes and has also talked about having a trip across America on a motorbike.

The caption of Daniel’s IG post read, “A lot less horsepower. A lot scary.”

The caption suggests that being an F1 driver seems much easier to Daniel Ricciardo compared to operating a motorcycle with significantly less power.

Aside from Formula 1, Ricciardo has always had a soft spot for other sports. He has expressed his desire to drive a NASCAR vehicle, and now he can be seen risking injury while operating a bike. However, for fans, their favorite driver is simply too good in every appearance.
