WATCH: Daniel Ricciardo makes fans’ day by paying a visit to Hilton Group members in Singapore

The always-upbeat Daniel Ricciardo is known in the F1 paddock as one guy who often has a smile and does whatever he sees fit to bring smiles to other people’s faces.

He is a huge fan favorite in the sport, and in keeping up with his tradition of making people happy, the Australian, during the Singapore weekend, was seen visiting the Hilton Group members.

The Hilton Group is a very prominent sponsor of the McLaren F1 team, and there could have been no one better than the 33-year-old to do what fans adore him for. He is a people person and fans like being in his company. Moreover, it’s not often that one gets the opportunity to spend time with an F1 driver.

A proper video of the moment is on the web and Ricciardo while recording a video, moments before his meetup said, “Alright, I’m about to surprise Hilton Honours members John and Donna, they have come from Seattle, over here to Singapore to witness their first ever F1 race, so let’s go see them. I’m excited.”

As it is clear from the above Tweet, the fans were completely bemused to see the former 8-time Grand Prix winner standing behind him and the moment is something, that John and Donna will never forget in their lifetime.

Daniel Ricciardo has got 5 races left in his F1 career

Daniel Ricciardo, since joining McLaren, has been a shadow of his past self and has endured an extremely tough two years with the team. Moreover, after getting his contract with the team cut short by 1 year, he is without an F1 drive for 2023 and the current campaign could prove to be his last year in the sport.

The 33-year-old in the past few weeks has indicated that he is willing to sit out a year with the hope of getting back on the grid by 2024, however, sitting out a full year is an extremely risky ploy and not many are able to make a comeback.

As things stand, Ricciardo has got 5 races left in his F1 career, and from the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix onwards, he should target to do his maximum best, so that the teams who are active in the Driver market take notice of him and make the call to get him onboard.

Can Daniel Ricciardo secure a seat for the 2023 F1 season?
