Caption This: Daniel Ricciardo Looks Confused About His Busted F1 Car
Caption This: Daniel Ricciardo Looks Confused About His Busted F1 Car-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:39

A sudden power failure forced Daniel Ricciardo to pull over in a precarious position on track, bringing about a virtual safety car period mid-way through the Belgian Grand Prix. Sky Sports’ commentators suggested that the marshal was telling him to put the car in neutral, giving us this gem of a screenshot.

Here’s the location where Ricciardo’s Red Bull car gave up the ghost.

Blame placed on in 3...2...1.......

Back to this one, though:

I’m sure we can come up with a more entertaining explanation than “put the car in neutral, Honey Badger.” After all, we are looking at a marshal in a Mercedes hat pointing at a Red Bull. It’s a conspiracy! Mercedes wants that sweet, sweet after all.

Making sense of talk that Mercedes are ready to offer Red Bull an engine if they try to divorce…

(Never mind that Pastor Maldonado as Ricciardo in his Mercedes-powered Lotus today.)

But what is he pointing at? Why is he making kind of a double-point? Why does he sort of look like he’s explaining how prostate exams work?
