Daniel Ricciardo has turned a Australian bar room and rowdy party tradition – the ‘shoey’ – into a podium celebration which has delighted some and disgusted others, including Lewis Hamilton who says he will not participate in the ritual should the occasion arise in future.
When asked about the shoey, Hamilton said, “That is disgusting. It is kinda of cool that [Ricciardo] has got his own little thing, and I admire him for having his own little thing.”
“It is totally cool for me that he likes to drink the sweat off his own foot. But I definitely don’t! Zero chance. I wouldn’t even drink the sweat from my own shoe.”
“You don’t understand, we’ve got these shoes and it’s so hot down by our feet [when driving] and we’ve got these hydraulic fluids going down there, they’re running at like 300 hundred degrees or something crazy, so it’s bleeding hot.
“Your feet are drenched afterwards! My dad would always call it ‘toe jam’ – he’s just drinking toe jam,” Hamilton added with a laugh.
