no words ... literally no words ...............

I've never liked the whole unemployed loser get a job rhetoric. but for fucks sake daniel if you don't like retirement then great get your bum back in a car and drive fast. or do something fun and creative and productive with your copious amounts of talent and energy and enthusiasm. literally ANYTHING other than whatever the fuck this is.

and this "true passion" schtick about a fucking sports betting company, even if it's just a silly bit for an ad, is frankly insulting as a fan.

daniel should just go ahead and delete his insta acc cause at this rate there won’t be any posts left so he might as well get it over with looool

Hunter Lawrence and Jase McAlpine discussing Daniel's progress jumping on a dirtbike and how he's built a lot of new larger jumps at his farm in Perth

HL: But, dude, how far has Daniel progressed on a pit bike? Did you see the latest jumps he's built? JA: They're massive. He was inspired by Axel's. You know the coolest part too? So we, it's so funny, we were just riding some mountain bike trails at home, a couple of big jumps. And he's starting to do the bigger jumps. So then we get out to Axel's and we both are riding around and I'm like, this can't be the pit bike track, these jumps are fucking huge, like there's no way. Both of us were just like we're not gonna jump any of these jumps and I'm not, I don't really care. I don't want anything to do with it, I'm not doing it. But Danny, for his own reasons wants to do it - and it's not because of peer pressure and it's not because of any of that. But I kind of figured it out; he's had to spend the last 10 - 15 years of his life saying no and saying if I wasn't a Formula One driver I would do it, but in the back of his head he's like fuck, would I do it? So you literally see him and he's going through the battle with himself. There was one jump, did you see the jump he did at Axel's? Bro, I was not doing it and even he's like, are you even looking at this? I'm like, nope, not interested. And he stood on the, he was on the roll in and I'm said look bud, you've thought about it for a while, if I'm looking at a jump for this long, I'm not doing it. He's like, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. And it's just cool that he's proven to himself that all of the years of him saying I would do it if. And that's actually fucking cool, like that's a very genuinely cool reason to want to push yourself, there's no vanities not trying to be cool for anyone. It's like no I need to prove to myself that I actually can be the dude that I said I was gonna be for 15 years. HL: I remember the end of 2021, we were riding at one of his mate's places up in north of LA. And we were on the kids track, and I mean like kids track, like tabletop from here to here - tiny. And he was jumping, I don't think it was the first time he was jumping, but you know, he looked how a beginner looks and he was stoked on like a foot of air. He was like, dude, this is crazy and he'd jump and be like, boner air, stiff like just flying fish, you know? And now he's like hitting, dude, the stuff he's built back at the farm. I would be like, I've never really done much on a pit bike, and I'd be like, yeah I'll follow you over it, let me see you hit it a few times and okay. But nah, hats off to him. Stud. JA: Yeah, he's sending it. And it's only gonna, like his place is only gonna get bigger and bigger. HL: He's gonna be riding Axel's place next year. Two years from now, he'll be on a big bike maybe. JA: That's the next step, getting him on the big bikes. HL: Yeah, I did say to him the other day like I think he would get a bit better on a big bike because I feel like riding a pit bike is tough. It's a completely different style to a bigger bike, I think. It's easier on a big bike. JA: It's just his mentality though. Like it was very cool to see someone like, cause there's so many reasons you can do things, you know, but to see someone like it was just a good lesson in doing something for the right reason. And he's, I've said it a bunch of times, I mean, I'll just glaze him again, but it's just like, he's, and you could speak to this as well. There's a guy that's done everything. He's won the fucking Monaco Grand Prix. The top of the top of the top in sport. He's crazy famous. He's got literally millions and millions of dollars. The world is... He won. He won the game of life. And he is the fucking nicest, most humble and best person and like a good friend to the people that he's friends with. And it's such a lesson in humility. And it's a lesson that no matter what you do, no matter how far you get, no matter how great the world thinks you are, that is the level that a person should carry themselves.

[l-arlo]

jack doohan is truly daniel’s son. the way he’s been treated so far and the way they’re about to unfairly drop him only 6 races in is so daniel ricciardo coded. poor kid

Daniel Ricciardo in LA | 26.04.2025

i saw it first hand how NO ONE not commentators not journalists not team principles not tv officials and especially not fans online cared about daniel‘s mental health therefore i don’t give a fuck about anyone else’s. in fact i hope every driver on the grid gets the same treatment daniel received and worse for good measure 👍🏼

The previous lap Max was literally the slowest car on the entire grid. The fuck is wrong with that Red Bull 🫠

Harry Benjamin, who's filled in for David Croft a few times on Sky F1, does the BBC Radio 5 Live commentary. He was playing padel in Australia, down at Port Melbourne, I think, and he regaled this story to me over the weekend. Max and Daniel were playing padel on the court next to them. And because Daniel was around for his Enchante store launch, anyway, Rosanna and a whole bunch of other people from BBC were playing. Then they came over after they finished their game and Rosanna knows Daniel pretty well and they exchanged pleasantries. Then Harry said, "Daniel, you coming to the track?" He was like, "Nope. Nooooope!" Apparently [he] couldn't wait to get out of there. And then when he left said, "See you in the next life!" So Harry's like, I think that's a resounding full stop on DR's Formula 1 career.

sainz is such a nobody that the most noise he made in the media was for getting a couple penalties in japan like albon has been dunking on him since day 1 and no scathing headlines in sight absolutely no one gives a shit. a privilege daniel never had

[l-arlo]

damn i was just getting started. oh well serves his arrogant ass right. i know he’ll be crying himself to sleep

[l-arlo]

i’m not there yet to hate-watch. i haven’t seen a single session nor a race and i’m not sure how long things will stay like this. however, i am very much there to hate-post scathing articles on the sub! dishing out the same treatment DR got is therapeutic in a way. that shithole (and the media) was nasty to him but i’m not one to discriminate.
