Daniel Ricciardo Is Making Fans Fall In Love With Max Verstappen: "Phenomenal Together"

Red Bull's newest addition, Daniel Ricciardo, is bringing laughter and fun to the team, revealing a more relaxed side to Max Verstappen.

Fans have reacted to recent videos from Red Bull showing all three of their drivers, Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and Daniel Ricciardo, having a laugh with each other. And it's fairly obvious that thanks to the Aussie with the smile, everyone's starting to fall in love with Verstappen, with fans saying they're "phenomenal together".

I think it's fair to say that we don't see a lot of personality from Max Verstappen. But before you have a go at me in the comments, I really don't mean this in a bad way. He reminds me of Niki Lauder. A man who is focused entirely on one thing, and that thing is winning, something both men do and did very well. 

But as we've scrolled through the endless amount of content coming from F1 right now, there's one thing that's very evident: Now Daniel Ricciardo has joined the team, we're finally starting to see the more relaxed side of the 2-time world champion. And we are loving it. 

Ricciardo joined Red Bull after he separating from McLaren at the end of the 2022 F1 season after poor performance. He's joined as a reserve driver, and while we haven't seen anything of him on-track, we've seen plenty of him in the social media coverage of the Milton Keynes team, and it's been cracking us up. 

We've noticed that Ricciardo brings the best out of Verstappen as they both laugh and joke alongside Sergio Perez in social media videos from the team. A recent video, where the three spot two birds "f**king" has gone viral for this very reason.

"woah! they’re fucking! they’re fucking!"
"they actually are"

"Max and Daniel are still phenomenal together.." one commenter posted. A second added to the general opinion: "Max is literal sunshine around Danny ric." [sic].

A third had a similar sentiment: "Love how Checo is just a passenger on this train of craziness!! Daniel and Max together is truly something else!!" [sic]

We're loving the relationship between these three drivers and can't wait to see more from the team as the 2023 season continues.
