BAKU PODIUM Well I know your father has broad shoulders but I can see a tear in his eye from up here, so I think you’re going to get a monster bear hug when you come down from here? LS: Just the whole team, it’s amazing. You were voted by the fans of Formula One as the driver of the day as well, so you’ve really punched through and connected with the public. LS: I was chatting to Daniel and saying motor sport is a love/hate relationship. We’ve had a couple of hard race but the last two races have been amazing and I’m just over the moon right now. Fantastic, very well deserved. Daniel, another line from you? You’ll take the wins when they come. You seem… you could see the smile almost through your helmet when you were in the cockpit, but now you seem a bit calmer than I was expecting. You’ve just won your fifth grand prix! DR: Honestly, I’m speechless. After the race on the cool down lap I was kind of just giggling; giggling like a little schoolboy. I think your podium colleagues need a little celebration. DR: Well it ’s Stroll’s first podium, so he certainly deserves one. Is he old enough to drink? LS: You realise this is going to scar me for life! Oh, my God, I’m too young for this. It’s like there’s some dirt in there as well. [Both drink from Ricciardo’s race boot]
