When Daniel smiles, the world smiles.
When Daniel wins, the world wins.

It feels like he's been at McLaren for ages with the way his season is going but for Daniel to win in his first season at McLaren is incredible.

It's impossible not to get happy for Daniel and for McLaren! That was amazing! Glad he's getting back to his usual pace!

"Everybody's a Ric fan, even if they're not, they're a Ric fan."

I love Zak Brown's "YEAH" on the radio in the background after the chequered flag.

This man put so much effort and confidence into the whole team for years and was always with his drivers to make sure they are able to maximize their confidence. And after all those great finishes by Lando the whole team is rewarded with a 1-2.

So happy to have witnessed all of this.

Netflix wants his dramatic background music back.
But in all honesty, I think the 3-event race weekend format really made this especially amazing. A 5 -> 3 (2) -> 1 progress through the weekend. That's quite amazing.

Considering how his season went up to this point, this was a fully deserved win, glad to see him on the top step again.

The first thing I thought when he crossed the line was “I can’t wait to see the huge smile in his face”. What an awesome win

I am not even a fan of Daniel Ricciardo, but seeing him win just makes me so happy!
It is impossible to not like the Honey Badger!!!!

Monza is so Epic, man. Last year it was Gasly and then this year it's Danny Ric. Best time to be a Fan of F1!

NETFLIX during this race; let's focus on Yuki for a bit.

People have forgotten that this driver is the only teammate that battled Verstappen on equal footing in terms of raw talent, speed and skills.
Verstappen had never an equal teammate after Ricciardo.

I was one of the people that thought Daniel has lost his fire just like valtteri but this reminded me that both Ricciardo and Bottas are and will be some of the best to ever sit in these cars and George getting more points is just impressive. Perez did a decent job too. And so did the ferraris

Ricciarod is a huge asset to F1. Seeing him win again, back where he belongs is amazing

[greatsageclok-roo]

Last race win: Redemption.
This race win: Proving himself.
You have got to love Daniel Ricciardo's F1 story!

[therandomreacher]

The sheer confidence this guy has is immense & inspiring at the same time. His craziness towards this sport while living the best of his life is what makes Danny unique.

[MrAndrewChung]

Uncle Buck aka Zac Brown is a real character. Would be a pleasure to work with him.

[venkatsaimurlidharan]

For the first time this account has done the right thing this season, instead milking the ham-ver crash drama they are milking the wholesome honey badger win and McLaren 1-2.

One smile can’t change the world
But his smile changed ours

[cindysiyarah]

Riccardo never left the game, ever since he talking he had a smile that makes everyone smile as well 🥺❤️❤️
