F1 Social Stint | Ricciardo talks about embarrassing moment with Red Bull

After the Austrian Grand Prix, the drivers have some time off to recuperate ahead of the French Grand Prix. GPblog's F1 Social Stint reveals what the drivers and teams are doing with that time off.

In a video, Daniel Ricciardo tells of his first time visiting the Red Bull Racing factory in Austria. The Australian had just signed a contract as a junior and was naturally quite nervous. Upon entering, he was so impressed by everything he saw that he overlooked a water feature and walked straight into it, leaving him dripping wet.

George Russell was also called the accountant. The Briton is a neat presence in the paddock and always behaves nicely. On Twitter there is a series of 'Russell is a type that' quotes with everyone giving their own interpretation. Russell has highlighted a few that he enjoyed himself.

Lando Norris has thought of a new way to get further to the front with McLaren: just borrow the car of his good mate Max Verstappen. Maybe the number one on his car will do wonders, although it is doubtful if it will work with this car...

McLaren remained in Spielberg for two more days of Pirelli tyre testing and Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris both came into action. Ricciardo, however, proved unlucky as he had to test in the rain. Norris tells this with a smile in the McLaren video.
