"[Christian Horner]'s used to trying to defend that second driver, isn't he? He's done it for about five years now? Six years since Daniel Ricciardo left. Is it seven years?"
"Daniel Ricciardo, Formula 1 race winner with Red Bull, choosing to make the switch to the Renault team then the McLaren team, and they've never really found the answer since, despite some really talented drivers strapping in to the second Red Bull."
"It's the seventh year of not having Daniel Ricciardo, and therefore having a gap between Verstappen and the teammate..."

re: maxiel soulmates— max said in the f1 ‘drivers explain their race number’ vid that his favorite number is 3 and he always used to pick it when racing. he wanted to race with 3 in f1 too, but ofc daniel had it already, so he just decided to make it 33 for double luck. very soulmates coded:)
THEY. LITERALLY. ARE. SO. SOULMATES CODED.
like you can't make this shit up 😭
Daniel: It all started at my very first go-kart race. We couldn’t choose numbers at the time. It was just whatever number they pulled out of a hat and that was ours and it was number 3. And at the time our house number was 3 so I was like, “Oh this is awesome. Cool!” I was following NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt was number 3…...and then we could choose our number in Formula 1 back in 2014, that was obviously my first choice and I got it…Pretty proud to be number 3 actually.
Max: Well my favorite number is 3. I used to always stick a number 3 on everything I was driving or riding but of course, when I got to Formula 1, Daniel already had number 3 so I was like, "Well let's add another 3 and hopefully that adds double luck."
something something soulmates au something something each other's good luck charm
WHAT IF I KMS? WHAT THEN??
and your name is ?
sure, Mr. & Mr. Hermann 😇

+ :
The really impressive thing for Ricciardo, apart from managing the problem you mentioned at the beginning and losing the MGU-K, was just the total dominance of the week. Tops every practice session, every qualifying segment, something that is not common in the context of this season ... In fact, Ricciardo's win in Monaco is only the fourth time a driver has topped all sessions in the 21st century. So that's a rare achievement. And it's only happened at Monaco once before, which was a certain Michael Schumacher in 1994. It just represented a guy who came here with his first opportunity to be in that sort of position because Red Bull's power deficit is mitigated by the layout of Monaco, and Ricciardo's just been top dog from the very beginning.

Not to alarm anyone but I there is a very specific pattern of deletion going on with Daniel's purging of his instagram. He's deleted approximately 400 posts, but if we look at just the last batch of deletions from today, we can glean the following:
He has beef with Enchante because he removed the link from his bio:
He has beef with George:
He has beef with the woman formerly known as Mama, now referred to by her government name "Grace Ricciardo":
Beef with his own helmets:
Beef with former threesome colleague Jenson Button:
Beef with wetsuits (but we should have seen that coming because they never got along):
But most of all, Daniel seems to have beef with Daniel:
