Daniel Ricciardo has opened up about what it is like on the podium with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
The relationship between both Mercedes drivers has been a tense one in recent years, and Ricciardo has revealed that the before they go onto the podium, they often don't speak to each other.
"The best part is if you get on the podium with them two, in the room before we go out on the podium just after the race, you take the helmet off and it's awkward for me because it's just so silent," Ricciardo told Sky Sports.
"I don't like silence too much, so I'm like trying to either talk to myself or make conversation with them but they are just happy enjoying the awkward silence. It's quite fun."
When pressed on who he thought would win the championship out of the pair, the Red Bull driver followed what most have been saying in recent weeks.
"When Lewis made up that deficit to Nico and came back it was like OK, nobody's going to touch Lewis," he said. "Nico's come back... I'm going to throw a spanner in the works and say Rosberg."
