Hamilton labels Ricciardo's shoey celebration 'disgusting'

Lewis Hamilton insists there is no way he will be taking any part in the "disgusting" shoey celebration made famous by Daniel Ricciardo in 2016.

The Australian introduced the bizarre ritual of drinking champagne from his race boot after finishing second in last year's German Grand Prix. He then managed to persuade ex-driver Mark Webber to join him in Belgium, before convincing Gerard Butler to partake in the celebration in the United States.

Teammate Max Verstappen and eventual world champion Nico Rosberg also gave in to the crowd's peer pressure and took a swig after Ricciardo claimed victory in Malaysia.
