Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo are still good buddies. The two drivers did not have to sit down together at the press conference on the Thursday of the US Grand Prix weekend as they did in Japan, but they happened to meet in the square. Ricciardo congratulated Verstappen on his second world title, which culminated in a comical conclusion to the conversation.

After congratulating his former teammate, Verstappen asks if Ricciardo is doing well. Indeed, the McLaren driver has tried to make his beard as American as possible for this weekend. Ricciardo then laughingly hooks into that, saying that as a two-time world champion, Verstappen does not even have a beard at all.
