"They're F*cking!": 2 Birds Break the Internet As Max Verstappen & Co. Get Scarred for Life

Daniel Ricciardo is back at Red Bull and that means a whole lot of entertainment. As the new Red Bull reserve driver sat down with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez for an Aussie-themed quiz. The chaos that ensued left the trio crying in laughter.

In Red Bull’s PR ritual of posting unheard conversations during their weekend, a BTS of the already hilarious interview, Verstappen spots two pigeons mating. Taking in the comical moment, the 25-year-old champion pointed at the two birds, screaming “They’re f*cking! They’re f*cking!” multiple times.

While Ricciardo laughed in agreement, Checo was left concerned. The Mexican quietly stated, “We should really call the police.” The whole conundrum served its purpose as the audience was clearly entertained.

With memes immediately taking over the internet, the craziness shared by Verstappen and Ricciardo only added to Perez’s seriousness. Pleasantly surprised by the chemistry they shared, there’s a new power trio in town.

Fans demanded more of this content as the dynamic between the drivers really surpasses the rest of the grid. Further, with Daniel Ricciardo bringing joy to the team, and the famous “Maxiel” pairing shining on screen- Red Bull have also hit the marketing jackpot.

The common word used? Chaos. The fuss made over two birds certainly left a mark on the fans on Twitter.

However, it was not only the censored video that left its viewers impressed. Even the main video of Ricciardo’s interview oozed silly and hysterical. And it was especially Max and Daniel’s on-screen reunion that had fans enthralled.

Verstappen emotional over Ricciardo homecoming

Ricciardo spent his weekend with Red Bull at the Australian GP. Verstappen was asked how he felt having his former rival and teammate back in the garage. Reminiscent of the past, Verstappen explained, “I do hope he gets a seat again but we’ve done a lot of things as teammates, we had a lot of fun. Of course, I had really good competition with him, but also at the time I was young.”

Talking about Ricciardo’s exit from Red Bull, Verstappen holds no grudges. “He moved on, and now he’s back with the family.” And the family is better off with him around. Verstappen also revealed that Ricciardo’s presence electrifies the environment. “He’s always happy, he’s always smiling. It’s great for the whole team.”

As Red Bull reaps the benefits of their investment in Ricciardo, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for this collaboration. The pressure is on Sergio Perez as whispers of replacement go around. Will Ricciardo return to his old seat beside Verstappen? The answer can only be in Perez’s hands.
