Daniel Ricciardo is one of the most loved drivers in Formula One. People know the McLaren driver for his funny antics as well as his bright, big smile. The Aussie driver loves to joke and pull pranks on people and he is also not afraid to laugh at himself from time to time either.
One of his most popular interviews was with a kid who mispronounced his name. The kid called the 8-time race winner ‘Daniel Avocado’ instead of Daniel Ricciardo.
Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of memes based on the incident. His current teammate Lando Norris also joined in the fun. The young Brit mentioned the meme while explaining the ingredients in his wrap.

“It is a mixture of wrap, chicken, Daniel Avocado, rice, and salad cream as the side platter. It is a beauty,” said Norris while describing his wrap.

“One thing is simple, our off-track interests are very different: he’s more into wine, clothes, and stuff, whereas I’m more into golf, Esports, and that sort of thing that Carlos was into as well,” said Norris on Ricciardo.

“[With Sainz] I played golf from time to time. We competed on the simulator and stuff like that. To have a closer relationship, one thing is clear, and that is that you need to spend time together and have fun, and golf is one of those things that made everything better,” concluded Norris.
