The bromance between Norris and Ricciardo was a highlight of the 2021 and 2022 Formula 1 seasons, with the pair bringing a breath of fresh air to the paddock. But sadly, their partnership at McLaren was short-lived, and the Aussie driver has now moved on to Red Bull.

It's a shame that we didn't get to see more of their dynamic on track, as the partnership between Ricciardo and McLaren just didn't work out. But it's heartwarming to know that the friendship they built is still going strong.

As for Ricciardo, he's now a reserve driver for Red Bull, a team he has a strong history with. And while it's sad to see him leave McLaren and a permanent seat in the sport, we can't wait to see what he'll do next. 

Hopefully we will see the Australian driver back on the track soon.
