Formula 1 fans have shared their excitement after Max Verstappen<\/a> and Daniel Ricciardo<\/a> reunited in a recent video shared by Red Bull.<\/p>\n

As the four-time champion took on challenges against Racing Bulls<\/a> rookie Arvid Lindblad<\/a> in various Ford machines from the past 100 years, the two drivers were greeted by Ricciardo’s famous smile ahead of the final challenge.<\/p>\n

“I gasped when Daniel just showed up out of nowhere. I hope they filmed some more content with the three of them. It’d be a shame to waste Maxiel, they have wonderful chemistry,” one fan commented on Reddit<\/a>, while another added: “Very fun! I love the little wave\/thumbs up between Max and Daniel, I didn\u2019t expect we\u2019d ever see Maxiel in a PR video again. Also love that Max predicted the final gap between times perfectly lol. Arvid did great, and fun to see some very different cars.”<\/p>\n

Another fan simply commented, “MAXIELLL,” while another wrote on X: “NOW THIS IS WHAT WE WAAAAANT.” Someone else commented: “Friendship ended with Honda. Now Ford is my best friend.”<\/p>\n

Other comments included: “I like to think that this way, a part of Daniel will always be on the track. I mean, I miss him a lot”, “AAAAAAAAAA this has made my entire week,” and “Wdym we got Maxiel in 2026????? Am I dreaming????”<\/p>\n

Since leaving F1 following the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, Ricciardo signed on as a Ford Racing ambassador in September 2025. Ford is also partnering with Red Bull Powertrains from 2026 onwards, suggesting these collaborations may become more common. We have already seen Isack Hadjar<\/a> and Liam Lawson<\/a> take on rally challenges, Ricciardo drive on a Ford Raptor Rally and now Verstappen and Lindblad take on their own challenge.<\/p>\n

Red Bull and Racing Bulls will unveil their 2026 F1 liveries during an event in Detroit on 15 January.<\/p>\n
