NFL Fanboy Daniel Ricciardo Relates Himself With ‘Rowdy & Loose’ Buffalo Bills

Daniel Ricciardo is arguably one of the most popular F1 drivers in the United States of America. The McLaren driver, who likes to spend as much time as possible in the States, keeps a low profile. However, as he has featured in the massively popular Netflix series Drive to Survive, the Australian racer has become a household name in the country.

He likes the US a lot and reciprocates the love he gets from the people in the country. Interestingly, he is also a big fan of American Sports and is a supporter of the NFL Team Buffalo Bills.

Daniel Ricciardo explains why he likes Buffalo Bills

In a Q/A session with Google, the Aussie was asked about his love for the Bills. ‘Honey Badger’ considers himself a part of the fandom of the team called Bill’s Mafia. He revealed he likes the underdog aspect of the team.

“NFL was something I always knew obviously existed, and I was very aware of the NFL… I was like. So anyway, long story short, I was like- the Bills. They’re the great kind of underdog team. They’ve got an awesome fan base, they love getting put through tables,” said the McLaren driver.

“They’re rowdy. They’re loose. I feel like it is a little bit of the kind of person in me and like all my mates. I feel like we’re very much like that. We are a little wild at times. We would fit in the Bill’s Mafia.”

Despite his unwavering support of the Bills, he has not yet gone to see their games in person. Ricciardo explained the reason he has avoided seeing the NFL team play at Highmark Stadium.

Ironically, Ricciardo mentioned that despite him supporting the team from Buffalo, he could not see himself surviving in the cold temperatures of the place. He revealed he won’t be able to handle the cold in Buffalo while watching their games.

“No. I’m not gonna lie to you. I hate the cold! So it’s very weird that I’ve chosen to support the Bills. I would struggle. I don’t have enough body fat to deal with those temperatures,” said Ricciardo.
