Daniel Ricciardo Leaves F1 Fans Guessing After Shocking Trip to Netflix Headquarters

Daniel Ricciardo has raised suspicion after his recent tour of Netflix’s headquarters in Los Angeles. As the Australian driver posted a photo of the American streaming giants’ HQ on his social media, fans can’t help but ponder over his next move.

Ricciardo unveiled the pictures he took during his visit to the United States on the occasion of the 2023 Miami Grand Prix. Along with a series of photos, there was a photo he took that showed the top of the American streaming giant headquarters.

The Honey Badger, a huge fanatic of random clicks, uploaded all the photos on his Instagram account named daniel3.jpg. This is where he puts all of the clicks he takes whenever he’s out with his favorite camera.

However, as the photo went public, fans on Twitter began suspecting that the Red Bull star is readying himself for a documentary. The fans also argued if the tour was based on his upcoming fictional series, despite it being backed by Disney-owned Hulu.

DTS director emotional with Ricciardo leaving

The fifth season of the mega docu-series will be the last time the Australian driver will be seen in Drive to Survive. As the Honey Badger lost the favor of Zak Brown last year and eventually lost his seat to his compatriot Oscar Piastri, he will no more be a part of the Netflix show.

With Ricciardo leaving the show, its executive producer Paul Martin believes the show wouldn’t have existed without the 33-year-old. As per Daily Mail, he also stated that he’s very emotional about him leaving the show after spending five entire seasons with them.

It was Ricciardo whom Martin approached for the show before anyone else. Furthermore, Ricciardo was the first driver who invited the entire Netflix crew to his home in Australia.

Ricciardo will test drive for Red Bull in Silverstone

There’s a glimmer of hope for Ricciardo fans as the Australian F1 driver is slated to drive for Red Bull in the upcoming British Grand Prix as reported by GP Blog.

The 33-year-old who’s been missing the bustling world of F1, said that he’s been in the simulator as the third and reserve driver of the team. But he will drive the RB-19 in July after the Silverstone race, as he will be getting a Pirelli test.

Ricciardo has been out of the F1 action after being released from his contract last year. Now, in Red Bull, he spent most of his time away from the cockpit with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez racing on the main grid.
