Australian superstar Daniel Ricciardo has been warned by TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel not to ‘hit a stripper’ as Formula 1 makes its long-awaited return to Las Vegas.
The sport will soon descend on Vegas for perhaps the most highly anticipated race in Formula 1 history Ricciardo has returned to US TV late at night to promote the penultimate performance of the year.
Kimmel, who grew up in Las Vegas, knows “Sin City” very well and had some advice for the 34-year-old AlphaTauri driver.
“You have to be careful, though, because you know, there are people with Margaritas and Daquiries that are like five feet tall,” the TV host said on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“You could easily run someone over, as long as you don’t take that factor out of account, okay? If you see a red light, stop, that’s what I say!’

Ricciardo admitted that women in the US were not shy about admitting they were in love
Laughing, Ricciardo replied: “I assume you mean there are nineteen others I should pay attention to, but there could be more?”
Kimmel responded, “It could be thousands! There could be magicians, there could be strippers crossing the street.
“You don’t want to hit a stripper!”
The TV host also asked Ricciardo if women “threw their bodies at him” while he was in the United States.
“I notice that they are certainly not shy to say: ‘I am in love with you’ – or they let me know which driver they are in love with,” said Ricciardo.
When asked if Ricciardo thinks women want him to pass it on to the driver, he said: ‘Pretty much. And I think they want to know if that’s a good choice or not, so thumbs up or like, ‘Hmm, no.’
F1’s popularity in the United States has risen dramatically in recent years, thanks in large part to the Netflix show Drive To Survive.
Ricciardo says many more people recognize him now, but some think he is an actor.

“It’s funny because now people often come up to me and say, ‘You were great on the show,'” Ricciardo said.
“So my response is, do they know I race or do they think I’m an actor? I look at them as ‘thanks’, but I’m a bit unsure: do they actually know what I’m doing?
“It’s funny, but it’s really bloated. I try to remind them, but I think it goes over their heads.”
