Ricciardo makes surprising comeback as Russell's teammate

Daniel Ricciardo has made a surprising appearance with two Formula 1 drivers, George Russell and Oscar Piastri. The former F1 driver has found a way to pass the time with a game of paddle. 

Ricciardo makes comeback alongside Russell and Piastri

The current grid had a one-week break before the next race, which takes place in Spielberg. Russell seemingly used his time to vacation in Australia, where he met up with Piastri and Ricciardo. Scotty James, a famous snowboarder, can also be seen in the photo. 

Ricciardo has been busy at work. He recently announced a new project through a gambling service called Dabble and is hosting a competition called 'Dabble Dans Tailgating Service'. 

However, some fans did not agree with this move and it was met with a few negative reactions from his followers. 

Russell recently won the Canadian Grand Prix with Max Verstappen coming in second place. Not only did he join Piastri in a game of paddle, but he also joined Piastri as one of the four winners so far this season.
