Daniel Ricciardo’s shoey habit is still the headline act

SportLocation Formula 1 Desk · 10 Sept 2026

A studio montage revisits Ricciardo’s wildest shoeys, with the celebration itself doing all the talking.

Daniel Ricciardo’s name is attached to a clip that treats the shoey as the main event. The studio setup is simple enough: a host in headphones, a microphone, and a ranked countdown built around Ricciardo’s most memorable celebrations.

What gives the montage its bite is the way it keeps returning to the same idea — the shoe as a victory prop, not a punchline. The inserts show different versions of the ritual, from podium scenes to team celebrations, but the point stays the same: Ricciardo turned a post-race flourish into part of his public identity.

That is why the footage works. It is not trying to explain his whole career or force a fresh result into the frame. It just leans into one recognisable habit and lets the celebration clips carry the rhythm.

The final McLaren shot underlines the appeal. Even in a quick-cut package, the shoey remains the bit everyone remembers.
