Danny Ric is California dreamin'

Ahead of opening a new chapter in his career in F1 with McLaren this year, Daniel Ricciardo is recharging his batteries at his second home in Los Angeles.

And no trip to L.A. would be complete without a hike up Mount Lee and a selfie with the City of Angels' most famous landmark and cultural icon: the Hollywood sign!

The Honey Badger posted the pic on his Instagram account with a caption that embodied the Aussie's sense of humour if not his acute sense of geography.

"The Big Apple. Wow. What a place." 

Classic Danny Ric!
