“The ‘honey badger’ cringe”: Fans ruthlessly criticize Daniel Ricciardo for endorsing OKX Crypto amidst uncertainty regarding his F1 career

Daniel Ricciardo

McLaren racer Daniel Ricciardo has had, quite disappointingly, one of the worst career trajectories in this season. The racer, who had joined the British team with hopes of getting closer to winning the Championship that he knows he deserves but could never attain in the past, has not been able to give any plausible performances this season. In fact, in most of the races, he has been knocked out of the top 10 by more competent racers and his own teammate Lando Norris is currently ahead of him in the standings by 69 points.

Fans have always flocked around Daniel Ricciardo for his charm and sunny disposition, and they simply cannot accept the awful position that his career has been put into, now. McLaren have already declared officially that they will prematurely end their deal with Daniel to take up Oscar Piastri next year as their new recruit. And there is no news about what lies ahead for the eight-time F1 Grand Prix winner.

And in the middle of all the uncertainty regarding his future in Formula 1, Daniel Ricciardo posted an advertisement on his Twitter account, endorsing a crypto website. Fans were quick to criticize his choice as many of them view crypto as a dangerous financial option, and they just could not believe the Honey Badger would partake in something as silly as giving ads for cryptocoins.

Fans abhorred the idea that Daniel Ricciardo, who has been regarded till very lately as one of the most talented drivers in the grid, is now virtually without a seat for next year in F1, and he is doing “cringey” promotion for some crypto website. It is a much-known fact that cryptocoins are not seen as legitimate financial options by many, and as Daniel was found endorsing one of the crypto companies, the idea did not sit well with most fans.

Devoted Daniel Ricciardo fans are aghast at the Australian for doing advertisements on behalf of crypto companies while they are all sceptical about his future in F1. The frenzied followers did not shy away from letting their dismay with the Honey Badger be known, as they kept asking him to release news about his shift to some other team as they hope to still see him in the pinnacle of motorsports now that it has been clarified by McLaren that they are giving Ricciardo the boot for 2023.

Now, it is to be seen if Daniel Ricciardo takes in all the criticism by his fans and stop endorsing crypto companies. And maybe, quite soon, we will get to know more about what lies ahead of Ricciardo in terms of his career in motorsports, if not F1.
