Ricciardo discusses bromance with Verstappen

Daniel Ricciardo has been talking about his great relationship with his Red Bull team mate, Max Verstappen.

Ricciardo said that himself and Verstappen do lots of things together away from the track and he believes that having a good relationship with your colleagues is crucial to maximise the team's performance.

The Australian said that he would find it tricky to get on as well with any other driver on the grid.

It hasn't been all good for the pair, earlier this season, Verstapped accidentally crashed into the back of his team mate in Baku and this resulted in both drivers losing position and costing them both points.

There was then a mass amount of pressure on the Dutchman following Baku's mistake - however, the 20-year-old has bounced back in style; with a win in Austria.

Ricciardo claims that his and Verstappen's relationship at the moment is "stronger than ever' and their 'bromance' is in full flow.

"Max and I do a lot outside the job together," Ricciardo told Formula 1 Magazine.

Verstappen is still at such a young age and has been compared to some greats of the sport.

Ricciardo says that the Dutch driver keeps a "level-head" which is crucial in order for him to maintain his good performances.

"Look, within this sport it's easy to be swallowed up completely. But he stays level-headed and has managed to keep his feet on the ground," the Australian added.
