Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris famous for the humour they inject into otherwise rushed and intense Formula 1 was seen as the ideal partnership in comedy.
However, Ricciardo not agreeing with has said that he is not going to lose focus for the sake of making people laugh. Instead, he wants to focus on the business side of his work. “It’s not going to be a comedy show,” said Ricciardo to the SkySports.com.
“I’m going there for business, I’m going there to improve the car, My personality won’t change so I think I do enjoy doing what I do… but I’m certainly not going there to be this meme power couple or whatever it’s described as these days!” he said.
In 2020 there have been moments when Norris and Ricciardo were involved in funny moments, especially during the post-race interviews; thus, it has to come unconsciously and not deliberately.
“He’s crying!!”@DanielRicciardo has made us all laugh over the years… and it was all too much to handle for @LandoNorris in today’s press conference!
