Ricciardo revels in “majestic” shoey with Hamilton on F1 podium

Daniel Ricciardo says doing a shoﷺey with Lewis Hamilton on the Formula 1 podium at Imola was a “majestic” moment.
After finishing third in Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the Australian toasted his second🍌 podium with Renault in three races with his traditional rostrum celebration by drinking champagne fr🍎om his racing boot, something he forgot to do in Germany.
Race-winner Hamilton got in on the act by drinking from Ricciardo’s left boot as the Renault driver drank from his right after claiming the 93rd victory of his career. R𒆙icciardo said he thoroughly enjoyed seeing Hamilton voluntarily joining in.
"I took my right shoe off, poured it, and was about𒈔 to salute the mechanics," Ricciardo explained.
"And 𓂃I heard Mr Hamilton asking me to ta♛ke my left shoe off. He also drank out of my shoe today. So we shared one today, and it was majestic.
"And fun fact for everyone, I think it was three years ago on the podiಌum he said he will never, ever drink out of my shoe, 🐷and in 2020 strange things are happening.
“I was very adamant that I would get him to do it one🎶 day, and here we go. So I did𒅌n't forget, and I'm very happy.
"Champagne is colder these days, I don't know if it's because we're appr🃏oaching winter🅷 and it's cooler outside, but it does make the shoe experience slightly more tolerable."
But what did Hamilto🀅n make of his first-ever shoey?
“It definitely didn’t taste great,” Hamilton said. “I mean I don’t really like champa꧟gne as it is, but it definitely tastes worse.
“But what’s positive is that Daniel’s mum thinks I was a good sport, so I’m grateful for that. 🍷I think Daniel had said that I'd once said never, that I would never do it. So there's a lesson - never say never. It was a good moment."
