However, before the Australian GP commenced, Max Verstappen was spotted sharing lighthearted moments with ex-teammate Daniel Ricciardo, showcasing their camaraderie and playful bond.
During their time together in Australia, the Honey Badger and the Dutchman, a former teammate, were spotted together. The duo dubbed as “Maxiel” has gathered a dedicated fanbase. The Aussie driver, currently racing for AlphaTauri, has sparked rumors suggesting a potential reunion with the senior Red Bull team for the 2025 season, where he could once again partner with Verstappen. Daniel Ricciardo was asked about his ideal date location with the three-time world champion in a pre-race interview. The Aussie humorously responded, “Well, I tried to take him to the beach.” However, the Dutch driver interjected, reminding him about his farm and suggesting it as a potential location for their date.
The 34-year-old driver enthusiastically embraced the idea, stating, “Yes, yes. To my farm, and we would ride Honda little 110 CC dirt bikes. That is what we will be doing all day.” The Red Bull driver playfully chimed in, jokingly responding, “And then we’ll call Red Bull and we are like ‘We just had a shud. We can’t do the next four races because Daniel’s collarbone is gone’.” The duo erupted in laughter, their bond as former teammates transcending team boundaries, a camaraderie unmatched on the F1 grid. The idea of the Aussie rejoining the Red Bull Racing team in 2025 sparks excitement among fans, who eagerly anticipate the prospect of witnessing the dynamic duo reunite on the track once more.
