I had to attend some events on Tuesday: Daniel Ricciardo

As reported by Motorsport, the McLaren driver stated that he only invited himself for the cameras. But he later revealed the real reason for his absence from the ranch.

“I had to attend some events on Tuesday and actually thought I could still make it to the ranch. Would like to have. But I would have probably only had 90 minutes before I had to make the return trip, ”said Daniel.

But Daniel mentioned that he was jealous of Mick for running a ranch in Texas.

“I hope we’ll be going to Austin for many years to come. It would be a good address while the invitation is still open. Or maybe it was a one-time thing. Anyway, it’s great that he has a ranch there. I’m jealous of that, ”said the McLaren driver.
