In the first and historic film of the film saga, starring Jim Carrey (known as ‘ Ace Ventura , a different detective’ in Latin America, and ‘ Ace Ventura , pet detective’ in Spain), Snowflake, the pet of the Miami Dolphins.
That team plays as a local at the Hard Rock Stadium that is located next to the circuit where Formula 1 debuts this weekend, and Daniel Ricciardo did not want to miss the opportunity to do something different.
With a very colorful flower print design in the style of Detective Ace shirts, Ricciardo has included his face on the card that identifies him as ‘Pet Detective, to serve and protect.
