At the last two races, Azerbaijan and Austria, they were instigated more by podium interviewers - former racers David Coulthard and Martin Brundle - than the happy driver. Even in Baku I was, like, 'ah, I won't do it'," Ricciardo told reporters on Thursday when asked about his plans for Sunday's British Grand Prix. Ricciardo said fans were even shouting "shoey" during an "F1 Live" promotional event in central London on Wednesday. In Austria, while television commentator Brundle drank deeply from the shoe, Mercedes' race winner Valtteri Bottas made himself scarce. Ricciardo was unimpressed, even if he conceded that the shoey could be risky when races were back-to-back because the top three could all pick up something that put them in hospital for a week.
