6 Years After Hijacking Lewis Hamilton & Co’s Account, Daniel Ricciardo Taught a Lesson by Max Verstappen’s GF by Taking Over “Unattended” Item

Daniel Ricciardo is like the elf of the F1 paddock. Joyful, wanting to help people but also, very mischievous. One such mischievous incident happened when the now Red Bull third driver hijacked Lewis Hamilton and Co’s social accounts. Nevertheless, Kelly Piquet, along with DJ extraordinaire, Martin Garrix, taught the F1 elf a lesson while they continue to celebrate Max Verstappen‘s dominance. Let’s find out how they did it.

Daniel Ricciardo is famously known for not only his driving skills but also his joyful nature. Showcasing this joyful nature, Ricciardo once stole a Mercedes member’s phone during the 2017 Japanese GP. The phone was being used to live stream the driver’s parade. However, Daniel had other ideas in mind as he asked all the drivers to say hi to the camera after hijacking it. The Australian even posted random selfies of himself on the Mercedes Instagram account.

Verstappen celebrated the much-deserved Miami GP win with his team, dad, girlfriend Kelly Piquet, and good friend Martin Garrix. Kelly Piquet is always present during the races and Martin Garrix being a Dutchman, has always supported Super Max and is not a good friend of his. Garrix and Piquet seem to have bonded well over time as they continue celebrating and supporting Max. 

Kelly Piquet recently posted a story on her Instagram in which she is seen enjoying the Miami GP with the Dutch music sensation. Martin Garrix and Piquet are seen posing with their middle fingers in a picture clicked on a Leica Q2 Camera. The caption of the story read “When Daniel Ricciardo leaves the camera Unattended”. Kelly along with Martin Garrix gave Daniel Ricciardo a taste of his own shenanigans as the Australian left his $6000 camera unattended.

With the mood in the Red Bull side of the paddock being great after the drivers finished 1-2, this prank of Kelly Piquet was a very welcomed one. We still cannot be sure if Daniel Ricciardo would’ve learned his lesson to not Hijack phones anymore. Nevertheless, the Australian does realize that his career is on the line as he talks about its resurgence 

Daniel Ricciardo considers the Pirelli Tire test key for his comeback 

Daniel Ricciardo ended his contract with McLaren a year earlier after the Australian was unable to perform and felt burned out by the pressure. However, he considers Red Bull to be key to his resurgence and the Pirelli tire test in July at Silverstone to be a catalyst for him to make his way back into a permanent seat in F1. He wants the F1 paddock to know that he’s just not any other F1 driver and still has a lot left within himself to give to the sport.

According to Foxsports.com, Daniel Ricciardo said “I’m putting pressure on myself because I want to feel that pressure.” “I want this test to mean something.” “I did a test in the middle of 2013, which ultimately set up my seat in 2014 with the team. Ten years later, I’m kind of in that same position again.”

He then added “I know if I put a good showing in, it won’t go unnoticed.” “It might not be lap time at the end of the day. It might be like, ‘Oh s***, by the end of lap two he was already flat out’. By the end of the test, I just want them to be like, ‘This kid still has it. He’s not just cruising around. He’s not a test driver’.”
