A new bet for Daniel Ricciardo’s podium finish
Forget about the tattoo Cyril Abiteboul is to get for Daniel Ricciardo at Renault last year. Zak Brown has a different kind of offer for his driver.
This had been one of the leitmotifs of the last two seasons: will Daniel Ricciardo win his bet to step on the Renault podium? The stakes: a tattoo of his choice for Cyril Abiteboul. We may never know if the bet is kept now that the Frenchman has been dismissed from the team, which is now called Alpine.
For his new collaboration, Daniel Ricciardo once again sets himself the goal of getting back on the podium. Zak Brown, his new boss, found the words to motivate him even more. This time, no tattoo, not the British businessman’s style.
On the other hand, he has an exceptional collection of vintage cars. And he knows that Daniel Ricciardo idolizes the legendary driver Dale Earnhardt, a seven-time Nascar champion. The Australian will then have the opportunity to drive his 1984 Chevrolet Monte-Carlo! On the other hand, the president of McLaren will have to endure the torments of the famous Shoey, which consists of drinking champagne (or rather Italian sparkling wine this season) from his shoe.
The die is cast!
