Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo shared some good years during their time in Red Bull Racing. The two drivers shared some brilliant inter-team rivalries as well as stiff competition until the Honey Badger decided to leave the Milton-Keynes-based team. After the infamous Baku shunt in 2018, their relationship turned sour, and the Australian decided to shift to Renault the year after in 2019.
