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??
he’s deleting again. woke up once more and went there’s still more to go…..
Probably the last maxiel F1 graphic/poster we'll ever get 😭
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:
’just so you know someone took a picture with daniel ricciardo’ sshjshjs

What if you were max verstappen and what if this really hot older man met you at a karting thing and he was a fancy f1 driver who also wished you good luck for your super licence and he ends up being your teammate and you didnt know teammates were supposed to be this way because no one else is this way and what if he left you and the team and everyone thought he left because of you but it turns out he's still your friend and he would chase the feeling of having you as a teammate chasing chasing chasing the same feeling he had with you but it is never the same as it was with you and you never chased the feeling because there could only ever be him and then what if you won and you kept winning and he kept having his career ripped to pieces but he always smiled for you and supported you and said "if it's not me then im glad it's him"
and then!!! and then he comes back!!! he could be your teammate again but he joins the junior team but he's still in the family and you get to joke around in the same spot and then!!! he could be back in the car next to you!!!! he writes you a tribute and it makes you have to walk away from prying eyes because he wrote it with such love but then your boss is an incompetent asshole and he ends up walking away forever and you thought you lost him but truly it was never about the sport you were in you were meant to be friends and teammates forever and ever because he still watches your races and comes to a different continent to just play padel with you and it's just you and him forever and you just saw him a few days ago but he's part of a congratulations message and he calls you spectacular like he did so many years ago and you're just a man and you love him and also that man is daniel ricciardo

Daniel Ricciardo in the pitlane during Qualifying ahead of the Singapore GP | Saturday | Singapore | Rudy Carezzevoli
"Definitely the emotional control. The one thing I was impressed about was, other drivers or at least myself, when I have a bad session for example or big mistake, I kinda carry that frustration into the meeting. Daniel was, even when he had a bad race or bad qualifying big mistakes, he was very consistent and he didn't show much about the frustration from inside to the other people and being very professional. I was always watching his face in the engineering meetings like surely he showed some frustration, but actually he was always consistent and giving some jokes as well to give the engineering room bright, bright mood. So, yeah, that was impressive."

“They’re still calling you Daniel. Thank you, Daniel.”
so eh...... maxiel huh
what if we used to be teammates and it was my last race (maybe probably possibly) and I gave u everything I had left to give. when ur arguably the reason my career didn't go the way it should have. when I had to leave (because of) u. when I had to watch u succeed where I failed. when I was glad it was u if it couldn't be me. what if it was my last race and u held my umbrella for me and didn't leave my side the whole time and defended me in the media and I gave u everything I had left to give. one last time. and we used to be teammates. what then?
thank you daniel
”They're still calling you Daniel! Just Daniel….” 🥹❤️
