The Italian Job: Daniel Ricciardo in an Alfa Romeo T33!

Helmut Marko raced this Alfa Romeo T33 in the 1972 Targa Florio and Daniel Ricciardo's family roots are Sicilian so that explains the photo shoot for Red Bulletin which you should definitively go read.

Couple of things:

• Red Bull would bring fog machines,,,
• At 5'11, Daniel barely fits in the car.
• it's impossible for Ricciardo to come across as anything but a cool guy.

Here are pictures from the actual 1972 Targa Florio.

Yes, Daniel Ricciardo beat Hamilton's Top Gear time but...

...did you notice his mirrors changed position from corner to corner during the record lap?

Bacharach

OK,  for sure an obsessed F1 driver on a quest for the fastest time would ask to fold those big elephant ear mirrors and,  if you believe Top Gear when they said Daniel did three identical  laps,  it matters little that they composited the lap.

That leaves only one, incapable,  shocking  conclusion:
Aerodynamics have no effect whatsoever on a Suzuki Liana!

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton Fan clubs around the world have already started #Mirrorgate.
