Ricciardo suddenly became Russell's team-mate, but not on the track.

      Daniel Ricciardo, having retired from the global racing scene, rarely comes into view, as he has reduced his social media activity to a minimum. 

      However, the other day he shared a commercial in which he talked about his new business project, but he immediately got hurt by numerous fans who categorically did not like that the former racer got involved with gambling.

      Another thing is the friendly match in padel, in which Daniel seemed to be paired with George Russell against Oscar Piastri and Scott James, although the Australian Olympic–level snowboarding master is a long-time friend of Ricciardo.

      A curious picture appeared on George's social media page, taken in one of Monaco's sports complexes, and first of all, Daniel's full beard attracts attention, which has clearly increased in size and thickness during the time we haven't seen him.

      One of the witty fans noticed that Riccardo looked like a student, just now returning from a year-long academic leave, which he spent traveling in Southeast Asia.

      And many people sincerely thank George for posting a recent photo with Daniel, since he is too lazy to do it himself. Statistics show how interesting this is to the public: the picture appeared only a few hours ago, but has already managed to collect almost half a million likes.
