Top 10 12 Daniel and the media moments of 2024

1. When Edd Straw and The Race were irrationally mad at the renaming of the team’s name to Visa CashApp RB such that Edd Straw called it the worst thing to happen in F1. Unfortunately for Edd Straw, I am now in agreement with him.

2. When Daniel was catching the plane for his home Grand Prix and a Perth journalist asked Daniel if he should be worried for his future. There were already rumours that he was to be replaced at the following race in Japan after finishing right next to his teammate in the first two races of the season.

3. When Mat Coch revealed on the Pit Talk podcast at the beginning of the season that there were journalists in the media room who very personally wanted Daniel out of the sport.

4. When Crofty point-blanked told Laurent Mekies that they probably would rather a lighter driver in the car.

5. When Jacques Villeneuve continued his one-sided vendetta against Daniel at the Canadian GP because he was especially triggered by Daniel’s special helmet celebrating the 10 years of his first win

6. And all of the motorsport media went on to make cute graphics of his comments because why not 🥰

7. When the media pushed him to the point of a menty b in Singapore

8. When he was specifically asked why he was still smiling after his qualifying didn’t go well

9. When he joked about being found face down in the water and no one went ‘damn dude let’s take a step back’

10. When Daniel had said menty b and cried in front of Lawrence B and then Sky sports proceeded to show him a montage of his career (that he couldn’t even hear) after one of the most gruelling race of the season.

11. When Daniel was pictured wearing a hat in a photo posted by a friend and this somehow led to a 500 words article.

12. When an FIA accredited journalist decided to quote tweet a fan’s video of Daniel smiling to plug his own article and to somehow intimate he is 100% right about what he believes Daniel’s mental state is.

jameskirkham: I know you probably hate all of these posts @.danielricciardo, but it’s too bad. It’s time to celebrate ya! You’ve worn the crown for a long time now and have led the way and given opportunity to so many of us, and we know it ain’t been easy. Looking back through my camera roll with a smile almost as big as yours. From life changing weeks in Vegas, to riding bikes in Amsterdam then you predicting to me in the lobby of your hotel that you were going to win Monza, then doing it! It’s been a freakin ride man. Thank you. Thank you for being you, for giving so much, for being so resilient under pressure and facing challenges with such Grace (and Joe ;-)), for all the last second paddock passes, for being a great sport in all the weird scenarios we’ve asked you to do over the years, entertaining all my positivity bullshit after tough races and most of all for making the whole damned world drink from their shoes and smile more. We all need to take a page out of the DR book. Congratulations on a phenomenal F1 career, and now an ENTIRE UNIVERSE of possibility. You now literally get to do ANYTHING in the world you want, including go back racing should you so desire 😀. You sure you don’t want to do some endurance racing?? lol

The most enraging thing is that the whole thing has been so horribly managed that it has successfully diverted everyone’s attention from asking for what reason he was let go. Is it based on some concrete performance metric that he failed? Is it based on the fact that he failed to score points when his teammate has also not scored any points since the summer break? Is it based on his qualifying gap to his teammate because at least it’s not 8 tenths off?

Maybe this was always the plan because it allows them to not have to answer these questions

Why is Daniel stoking the flames between Lando and Max 💀 girl do not get involved!!! My theory is Lando genuinely didn't mean it like that, I don't want Daniel involved

What did Daniel do to get involved besides point out the obvious, which is that Max would not have been enthused by it? Lando and Max have jabbed eachother before, they'll both be fine I promise

+Also Lando has been threatening to do this for years now lol he just got to live out his fantasy of making fun of a celebration in Zandvoort, I was here in 2019 when he made fun of Sebastian's "grazie ragazzi" and Bono's "get in there" (and a more disrespectful jab by one of them about lewis calling a race hard suggesting he doesnt actually win difficult races) on the same iRacing stream with Max incidentally. AND he started snickering with his friends, he just seems to think other people's celebrations are funny and it's certainly a choice but it's not anything new bb

I reflect quite fondly on the session. I don't love 13th, I do feel like we were better than that. It was a call we made at the time, it didn't seem like a silly one at the time, it just didn't work out for us. Q2 we did the first run I think we were there somewhere in the top 10, and then a little bit of rain started to come and we thought let's do the second run before the rain, we were able to improve maybe a tenth or something, but then the rain stayed light enough that at the end everyone was able to improve. So we were in the garage at the end and that's when we got knocked out. That was for sure frustrating but I don't argue with our train of thought up until that point. If it rains heavier we look like the good guys. It just didn't work out for us. I'm definitely happy with the pace and I feel like every time we set a representative time we were in the top 10. This morning we had a few issues so I didn’t really get a chance in the inter condition, so it was a little bit unknown how we would be, and I put up a good fight.

Laurent mekies can go and fuck himself with a rusted chainsaw. That statement he released is absolutely infuriating and disrespectful.

This team needs to be sold and burned to the ground.

The new photos from Dan and Josh's page are very hot, the captions are too, but... I... I looked at the photo from Dan's page and was like, "These aren't his nails," and then I looked at his hands and... there's no rose and 3? Maybe you can answer me, but this is my delusion, I don't understand something, or are these really not his hands? Shouldn't we see rose and 3?

No I don’t think they’re his hands I think they’re Josh’s. They posted each other. 😊
