\n

In 2016 Lewis Hamilton celebrated his British Grand Prix victory by indulging in an activity usually reserved for the world\u2019s most famous rock stars:\u00a0the humble crowd surf. And it made him late for the post-race press conference, which is cooler still.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Everyone loved Daniel Ricciardo during his time in F1. Same went for his hilarious\/disgusting\/crowd-pleasing trademark. Being asked to do the podium interviews for a race Danny Ric had even the slightest chance of winning was fraught with risk, because he\u2019d absolutely make you do a shoey with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just why Barrichello felt compelled to feign surprise everytime he stepped onto a podium, we have no idea. Funny, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mark Webber is already a very tall man. But whenever he won, he felt compelled to jump high above everyone\u2019s heads. Is being a giant not enough, Mark?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another jumper. Michael spent so much time on the podium, we\u2019re surprised he didn\u2019t have calves the circumference of a redwood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He got a lot of stick for looking miserable, even when he did pretty well, but has anyone even considered the\u00a0fact that maybe Kimi can\u2019t smile? Who knows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
