Daniel Ricciardo has shed some light on his now-famous podium antic: the shoey.
Daniel Ricciardo has twice this season drank champagne out of his shoe on the podium and now he's revealed where the craze came from.
"Well, as far as I know I started it in Formula One but not worldwide," he said. "It was a few loose Aussies, from what I saw, the Mad Hueys, they’re surfies and fisherman and just loose guys, they travel the world fishing, surfing and whatever and they like to drink a bit of beer and whatnot, and that’s where the shoey began. On their travels they’d get people to do it as well and it’s just a bit of a laugh."
When asked if it tastes as bad as you'd think, Ricciardo had a surprising response.
"Honestly, if the sparkling wine is cold, then it tastes good," the Red Bull driver revealed. "Normally it’s cold on the podium, if it’s warm then sure, you’d get the sweat and that through it – but the cold taste kills the bad stuff, so it’s delicious, as we said!"
If Ricciardo wins this weekend, fans can expect to see the shoey again, but he wants the other drivers to join in this time.
"If I win, sure! If it’s just a second or third probably not now," he said. "For a victory, I’d expect to see a few people do it with me!"
