‘Fun’ Daniel Ricciardo Silverstone memories revealed in face slap howler
Daniel Ricciardo’s memories at Silverstone have resurfaced ahead of the British Grand Prix, as his former teammate Lando Norris reminisced about their time together at McLaren. Ricciardo has not competed in a racing car since the 2024 Singapore GP, following his departure from Racing Bulls and subsequent retirement. One memorable moment at Silverstone was when Norris and Ricciardo had a competitive space hopper race in 2022, with Ricciardo playfully hitting Norris in the face with the inflatable ball. Despite not returning to F1, Ricciardo has been active with partnerships for his clothing brand Enchante and recently held his own karting event, the Daniel Ricciardo Series, at Buckmore Park. Even though he rejected a comeback with Cadillac for 2026, the former F1 star seems to be gradually re-emerging in the public eye, showcased by his presence at Wimbledon and continuing to be an appealing candidate for various racing opportunities worldwide due to his successful F1 career with eight wins and multiple podium finishes.
