You might think that the life of a Formula 1 driver is full of luxuries, and it is logical seeing what they do throughout an entire season thanks to social networks. The reality is that spending more than 250 days traveling the world is something that only a few can bear.
Only the hotels they stay in can become places of escape from a world of stress and movement, and the McLaren drivers, at an event with their sponsor, Hilton Hotels , opened up to tell some of their funniest stories.
During the press conference to fulfill the publicity commitments, the Woking team couple shared some must-see anecdotes. A while ago, Daniel Ricciardo, according to the New York Post , said that he “destroyed the entire room”, but he is not the only one who did “little mischief” in a hotel.
His partner, Lando Norris, admitted that during his first season in Formula 1, in 2019, he had a party with his friends, but he apologized for it: “They kicked us out of the pool, we weren’t behaving, so they kicked us out.” “.
“We went to the rooms and continued the party,” continued the British driver. “I’m sorry to everyone I upset that day, but it was so much fun.”
Hilton Hotels is an American company created in 1943, which is one of the most recognized on the planet, and joined McLaren in 2005 . The company has more than 60 hotels on 17 circuits, and will continue to be linked to the Woking team for more years to come thanks to the renewal of their agreement last February.
Daniel Ricciardo embarked on the British project last year, but he has already had time to explain the experiences he has had with Hilton around the globe.
“I will say something that is not too impressive, but they are very good at keeping me fresh and well for race day,” said the Australian. “We wear a lot of racing suits and clothes on the weekends, we sweat a lot, so we have to clean or wash them quickly.”
“They are very quick and efficient to leave clothes clean and wonderful,” defended Ricciardo about one of the Woking team’s main sponsors.
