Italian Motorsport Journalist Stefano Nicoli Reflecting On Daniel Ricciardo's Career

Italian Motorsport journalist Stefano Nicoli reflecting on Daniel Ricciardo's career

For the "Kansas City" move on Vettel in Monza in 2014. For the memes about that unfortunate pit stop in Monaco in 2016. For the win in Malaysia against Verstappen in the same year. For the triple overtake in Baku in 2017. For the middle finger to your teammate in Hungary in 2017. For the horrifying Texan beard you sported in Austin. For the 'Belly Flop' after the win in Monaco in 2018. For the pole position snatched away from Verstappen in Mexico in 2018. For the "Do you understand Italian? No? Then f*ck off!" on live television. For the victory at Monza in 2021. For the shoeys you did and made others do, for riding into the paddock on a horse equipped with it's own pass, for disintegrating a camper van together with Verstappen, for hitting Verstappen in Baku, for all the nonsensical braking you did, for almost knocking Norris out with a space hopper, for the kindness that I saw you show even and above all when the cameras were off, for the interviews you did without shoes because damn you had used them to drink from, for the gestures you made while you spoke because Italian genes - even if very distant - always find a way to come out. Choose for yourself what you will remember Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 career for. It seems to me that this big Australian fella, after all, has given us more than one reason to do so.

something about how daniel has more grace kindness and professionalism in his pinky then those ppl have in their whole selves but anyways I'M not built like that I will RAGE and be angry and bitter and DIE mad about this

i love how the dirlies are all losing their minds, screaming their heads off, crying, and rioting and dannys just there like motorbikes :D Daniel Joseph Ricciardo, never change😭

something about seeing daniel having fun with his friends in the california sun eased my soul ngl

crazy work fr

Vcarb posting Yuki and Liam for World Smile Day. Not an ounce of shame or self-awareness. It’s almost like it would have been a good idea to give that one a miss when you’ve just parted ways with the driver who’s known for his smile.

i can't believe we have to keep making this point every few months but nothing, absolutely nothing will ever justify the way that max was treated by jos as a kid. that treatment did not make him the person he is today, he is that person, kind and the light of so many people, despite all the harsh treatment he's received. he deserves so so much better than he was ever given and anyone who justifies this abuse is just as bad as the abuser themselves.
