Ricciardo teases Le Mans co‑drive with Verstappen, sparking seat‑sharing jokes

Ricciardo teases Le Mans co‑drive with Verstappen, sparking seat‑sharing jokes

Retired Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo has taken to social media to tease fans about a potential future drive at Le Mans alongside his former Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen.

The off‑hand suggestion has revived memories of their time together in single‑seaters and instantly sparked a wave of jokes about how two world‑class drivers might share a single endurance car.

While no formal discussions have been confirmed, the idea has already inspired tongue‑in‑cheek speculation about whether the cockpit can accommodate two egos, or if the steering wheel will need a therapist after hearing both drivers' ideas at once.

For now the plan remains firmly in the realm of teasing – no contracts have been signed, no test sessions scheduled, and no official statements beyond Ricciardo’s playful hint.

Fans can expect more banter and perhaps a joint appearance at a charity event before any real Le Mans test materialises.
