This week, when it comes to F1 drivers, one of the most watched is probably Ricardo, who won the first place at the Italian Grand Prix.
If someone had told me that the first team to win the 2021 season was McLaren, I would have scoffed, but they really, really did.
In Italy, at the Monza circuit, Ricciardo once again completed his redemption, winning the race again after more than three years, performing a classic champion shoey.
At last week's F1 Italian Grand Prix, although the first half can be said to be unremarkable, it was not until the amazing collision between Hamilton and Verstappen that the game was instantly advanced to a climax.
Because of this collision, the two both withdrew from the race, and the McLaren team became the biggest winner, and The two McLaren drivers, Ricardo and Norris, respectively, won the championship and runner-up.
McLaren ended a race-laps race since the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix! It was also the first time since the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix that he had won the championship and runner-up!
You can always trust the Monza circuit! There's always the most unexpected story, and there's always the craziest celebration.
As the winner of this competition, it was Ricciardo's 6th top six finish at McLaren and the 8th crown of his career.
Ricardo career
Ricciardo, whose full name is Daniel Ricciardo, was born on 1 July 1989 in Perth, Australia, and is an Australian Formula One driver.
He started driving go-karts at the age of 9 and competed in several go-kart races during this time.
From 2005 to 2009, he began to participate in some low-level formula competitions and continued to achieve good results. For example, in the 2008 Western European Cup, Ricardo won his first European title. In the same year, he participated in the Formula Renault Series competition and won the championship several times.
In 2009, Ricciardo competed in Formula Three in the UK, winning 6 races, 12 podium finishes, 6 pole positions and four times setting the fastest lap.
2009–present Ricciardo began his F1 journey, and in December 2009 Ricciardo drove Formula 1 for the first time at the Jerez Circuit, competing in the Red Bull Racing Youth Drivers' Test and setting the fastest lap of 1 minute and 17 seconds.

In 2011, Ricciardo became a Toro Rosso test driver and alternate driver, beginning to participate in the first free practice session of each race weekend, while also conducting pre-race tests for Toro Rosso ii in the 2011 Formula One World Championship.
At the British Grand Prix in July, Ricciardo competed in the official F1 competition for the first time. In November, he finished 20th in Abu Dhabi and retired due to mechanical problems. In the final race of the season in Brazil, Ricciardo finished 20th after starting with 22nd place.
In 2012, Ricciardo became a full-fledged Toro Rosso driver, finishing ninth at the Australian Grand Prix in March and scoring points for the first time in F1.
In 2014, Ricciardo officially represented Red Bull Racing in F1, and throughout the season, under the advantage of rival Mercedes racing, Ricciardo became the only driver other than Mercedes to win the championship, winning three races in Canada, Hungary and Belgium, and winning the third place in the driver of the year.

For the 2021 season, Daniel Ricciardo played for McLaren. On 12 September, Ricciardo won the first prize in F1 Italy.
Ricardo: Creator of heavy-rated shoes
Speaking of Ricardo, it is impossible not to mention his unique way of celebrating on the podium - Shoey. As long as he was on the podium, it was inevitable that he would come back this time, not only drinking himself, but also seducing many people with him, Hamilton, Rosberg, Weber, Storer, Gerald Butler, Mark Weber and so on.
At the German Grand Prix in July 2016, Ricciardo first unveiled the killer shoe drink, explaining: "As far as I know, shoey is the first thing I pioneered in F1. Of course I'm not the inventor of this ritual, there's a bunch of Australians in my hometown who are crazy surfers and fishermen. They like to travel all over the world, fish, surf or whatever, and usually like to drink a little wine, and since then they have had shoes to drink. ”
A normal F1 race driver will probably be dehydrated for about three kilograms, and it may reach five kilograms in the summer, it is difficult to imagine how much sweat stains will be left on the boots through the feet after participating in a race, and you will drink champagne with a pair of shoes that are stained with sweat or even smelly feet;
Such a heavy taste of celebration, I think it feels suffocating, to be honest, the people who can Hidey are in good spirits.
