Red Bull stars enjoy day out

With the Formula One title race seemingly over and the constructors’ championship going the same way, Red Bull duo Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen cut relaxed figures ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix.

The duo were seen fully embracing the Mexican culture as they took part in a host of fun activities at the Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit in Mexico City, says the Daily Mail.

Both drivers were pictured hitting pinatas that had been especially designed to look like themselves in full Red Bull kit as hundreds of fans watched on in delight. Ricciardo threw himself into the action and was snapped launching into the papier- mache container with a flying elbow as he tried to break it to pieces.

The Australian was delighted when he managed to inflict enough damage to break it and posed with his arms raised aloft by a judge afterwards.

Verstappen also managed to smash his pinata to pieces and they posed with various parts of their bodies afterwards in celebration.

They then moved inside for a press conference and after the questioning had been complete, Ricciardo picked up a guitar and began to play some songs with a group of Mexican mariachis.

The 29- year- old seemed to be having the time of his life as he wore a sombrero and beamed with delight while the group sang a number of Mexican hits.

It has been a frustrating season for both Red Bull drivers and they find themselves in fifth and sixth place in the drivers’ standings with just three races to go.

Verstappen occupies fifth place with one win from 18 races this campaign, his sole victory coming in Austria back in July. Ricciardo sits one place behind him, despite notching two first places this season.
