Daniel Ricciardo mocks Franz Hermann in Max Verstappen joke
Former Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo made a humorous jab at his ex-team mate Max Verstappen on social media. The two had previously raced together for three seasons at Red Bull before Ricciardo switched to Renault in 2018. Despite parting ways professionally, they maintained a friendly relationship and were often seen together at race weekends. Ricciardo recently posted a video on Instagram driving a tractor, playfully referring to Verstappen’s recent alias ‘Frank Hermann’. The joke was well-received by Verstappen, who commented on the post with laughing emojis. Verstappen, a highly skilled driver, set a new lap record during a recent GT3 testing event at the Nurburgring, showcasing his talent once again. Despite facing some criticism on social media, he silenced the rumors and went on to claim victory at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Verstappen currently ranks third in the drivers’ standings, trailing behind Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris as the next race in Monaco approaches.
