Daniel Ricciardo says it motivates him every time he hears people predict how many titles Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen can win in Formula One.
Ricciardo and Verstappen is arguably the best driver line-up on the current grid and enjoyed a good relationship during their first season together in 2016, in which they both claimed a race victory. Many predict that harmony will not remain this year if Red Bull is in a position to challenge for a championship.
Though Ricciardo relishes the friendly competition of his teenage teammate, he admits Verstappen's growing hype is perfect motivation for his own performances.
