Daniel Ricciardo supports Sebastian Vet💎tel’s criticism of Formula 1 trophy designs following the Ferrari driver’s complaints after the Mexican Grand Prix.

Vettel, 🍃who finished as runner-up in Mexico City behind race-winner Lewis Hamilton, was not a fan of the “shitty” trophy or “selfie guy” on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez podium and called for F1 to introduce trophies t🍸hat have relevance to the countries hosting the race.

Asked whether he agreed with Vettel’s comments ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, Ricciardo re🥂plied: “In the moment a win is a win, and you are actually not too fussed.

“Well I’m not too fussed in the moment wh𓆉at the trophy looks like. I am the winner and my high is higher than what’s going t🦩o be handed to me.

“Whether it is a year or 10 yeไars on, you are going to look back and if you see something amazing sitting in your cabinet, it is going to be a lot nicer than seeing, as Seb said, Heineken style.

“We go to Mexico, the bottle of tequila 🎃we all received was a piece of art.

“It was all hand painted and I feel like🧜 what they♛ represent, and their culture and history represents in Mexico, they could do something amazing with their trophy if they left it to the locals, or to the country, and not to a sponsor. There is a lot of room to it, and make it iconic and special.

“In Seb’s point, you win an F1 race, I know he did personally not win, but if you win a podium it is a big achievement, and you want to be recognised for something that is a ꦺbit more special than something generic that is from a sponso๊r.”

And Riccia𒉰rdo feels it is somethi♛ng that is likely to be addressed by the GPDA.

“We all feel it,” he explained. “I don’t think it is a big a﷽sk.

“I’m sure Heineken put a bit of money behin𓂃d it. I know Santander did trophies. It is definitely an opportunity for us to speak out.”
