Daniel Ricciardo may be one of the most lovable man on the grid. However, recent events have seen the McLaren man landi into some major trouble. In his trip across the pond, Ricciardo took some time off to meet friends, and also lend his time to a podcast. The happy-go-lucky driver may soon come to regret this.

Admittedly, Ricciardo, who was a guest on the YMH Studios podcast, has received heavy backlash over his choice to be in the program. Your Momma’s House is a raw comedy podcast that often made fans call it out for the jokes they serve.
As the Honey Badger was on the show, fans called out the sexist jokes that were shared during his presence. Fans were also surprised to see how Ricciardo’s PR team allowed him to take such a decision. The McLaren driver, laughing off at the joke, also enraged some of the fans as they took to Twitter to share their reactions.
Daniel Ricciardo faces the wrath of F1 fans
As the former Red Bull star was on the show, what fans found more offensive was how Ricciardo laughed off the sexist jokes shared during the show. While the hosts kept asking and sharing rather crude jokes, fans were certainly not convinced of the way everything played off.
Soon, Tweets flooded the platform, questioning Ricciardo’s reactions.
This is fucking awful @danielricciardo. You should know better than to laugh at disgusting stereotypes. Do fucking better https://t.co/h26UTQgMjI

Ricciardo generally has terrible judgement with podcasts (he's been on Barstool repeatedly) but this is just incredibly disappointing; sexist, playing into (weird) stereotypes of eastern europe.
misogyny coming from a woman is still misogyny, in the hosts' case. https://t.co/qprZXvzijr

Fuck this guy. I thought he was trying to cut that conversation but then he said "Budapest". This is the same podcast that agreed with Andrew Tate's opinions. I'm so done with Daniel Ricciardo. https://t.co/7nG8EJgj9K

However, not everyone found it offensive, as they understood the whole context of the show. Being an adult comedy podcast, they supported the hosts’ Tom and Christina, as well as the Honey Badger.
“Oh please he was just deflecting the question, he was clearly uncomfortable, did you want him to cancel the comedians right there?”
Then he shouldn’t have attended in the first place, they’re widely known for doing that kind of “humor”🤡🤡🤡 https://t.co/GxFfTQqR9W— Marie🌸 MAX AND CHECO 2022 WCC💛🤍 (@ma_fe79) November 5, 2022
