Even though Daniel Ricciardo is known to be a flamboyant character in the Formula 1 paddock, not much is known about his relationship with his girlfriend, Heidi Berger. Although the two made their relationship public via a photo dump in August last year, they have still been low-key about it.

However, the same does not seem to be the case between Ricciardo and American football quarterback Josh Allen. The Australian has publicly referred to Allen as his man crush.
Ricciardo made this remark while appearing on the Pardon My Take podcast earlier this year. “I gotta get this one out there! We’re both very comfortable saying, we’re both each other’s man crush,” explained the 33-year-old in that instance.
Ricciardo recently put up a photo dump on his Instagram handle, where he seemingly added images of himself and all the people that are close to him.
While most of the images in this photo dump featured him, it also contained images of Berger, Allen and former McLaren teammate Lando Norris, among others. These pictures seem to suggest the kind of bond that Ricciardo shares with all of them.
F1 fans react to Daniel Ricciardo’s photo dump
While most F1 fans were excited to see Daniel Ricciardo put up another post about Lando Norris, there were also some such as Nolan Cooper who noticed the Australian’s image with Josh Allen.
On similar lines, another fan stated that they were there for the “wholesome Josh content“.
And then there were fans such as David who seem to believe that Allen’s image was ‘fire‘.
How did Daniel Ricciardo and Allen become the best of friends?
Daniel Ricciardo and Josh Allen first met each other at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix and that is when their friendship began. Two years later, the Australian appeared in an interview with NFL on ESPN, where he discussed about the same.
The 33-year-old said, “It’s been like stepbrothers. Somehow, we just became best friends. Just a flick of a finger“. Ever since they became friends, Ricciardo and Allen have also been to each other’s events to offer their support.
The Australian F1 racer attended the Buffalo Bills‘ game last year to see Allen in action. Meanwhile, the Bills star attended the Miami Grand Prix last year to see Ricciardo in action.
