Daniel Ricciardo said he did not expect the former One Direction star, Harry Styles would love his merch and is hoping to meet him sometime in the future.
Daniel Ricciardo is one of the most charismatic drivers in the current F1 grid. The Aussie is known for his quick wit, his wide smile and his positive and fun-loving attitude.
However, Ricciardo’s future in F1 seems uncertain. McLaren confirmed earlier that they will be releasing the 8 GP winning driver from the team at the end of the 2022 season. This comes after a spell of poor performances and a lack of consistent results for the team.
Ricciardo’s options to continue racing in F1 are slim. The Aussie has accepted that he might have to take a sabbatical from the sport due to the lack of seats.
But the ‘Honey Badger’ has endless career opportunities ahead. And he could easily make a living out of his really cool merchandise that celebrities seem to love!
A couple of months ago, Popstar Harry Styles was spotted in New York wearing Daniel Ricciardo’s merchandise. Styles was wearing his $100 special edition t-shirt launched during the 2021 US GP weekend.
Harry Styles fanbase and F1 fans went gaga over the popstar repping the F1 racer. And Ricciardo explains how he got to know.

Harry Styles was a member of the sensational boyband One Direction. He is one of the most followed artists and has over 6 Million followers on Instagram.
Ricciardo revealed in a recent podcast, “We have a mutual friend. When the picture came out, the friend was like ‘I can’t believe this hasn’t happened early. He wears the shirt all the time!'”
“He is always wearing that in Public,” claimed the friend. Ricciardo claimed he has not met Harry yet. But the Aussie adds, “It kind of makes it cool that he is a fan before even meeting right!”
Ricciardo also claimed he doesn’t have any Harry Styles merch. But he’ll definitely sport it if he meets the pop star in the future.
He said, “I’m still waiting for them to send one my way! I will be a fanboy at some Harry Styles concert. I’ll be a modern-day groupie.”
