Daniel Ricciardo did nothing to hose down speculation there’s tension between him and Lando Norris when he hilariously called his McLaren teammate a ‘sh**head’ by accident when he got his Italian wrong following the French Grand Prix. Ricciardo was attempting to give an interview in Italian after the race when he was asked about Norris and repeatedly used the word ‘stronzo’, which translates to ‘sh**head’ or ‘a**hole’ in English. I would probably call it an Alpine baguette if we’re being geographically correct,’ Ricciardo laughed. You can have a ham and salad baguette,’ Ricciardo said, cheekily. It might not have been the outstanding result he and McLaren would have been hoping for prior to the weekend, but F1 legend Nico Rosberg said Ricciardo should be happy enough.
