It is proof of an unlikely friendship between the two Australian F1 drivers - and also a sense of mischief.
Veteran driver Ricciardo has lost his spot in the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: F1 2023 driver line-up after McLaren opted to terminate the fꦜinal 𓆏year of his contract.
ওThe team replaced him with talented rookie Piastri, whose manager Mark Webber is also an Australian.
Any🎉 potential awkwar♈dness behind the trio from Down Under has seemingly been ended by the hilarious picture of Ricciardo and Piastri driving a McLaren together.
Piastri had previously revealed that Ricciardo reached out to insist there were no hard feelings: "Him getting in touch like that, that was great for me personally, knowing that there were no hard feelings. That really helps me quite a 🐼lot, and it was good to get in touch.
“It was a nice moment🃏. If I can get close to emulating the success he's had on track and the character he is off the track, I think I'll be doing a reasonable job.”
Ricciardo will be Red Bul💮l’s third driver in 2023.
