Red Bull released footage of a cool stunt with Daniel Ricciardo yesterday when he took on the Bath Rugby pack in a scrum while driving the RB8. While his throttle control with his right foot might earn him his wages, his kicking with it proved costly. This is the reaction of Ricciardo and the Bath players after the Australian cheekily kicked a rugby ball away when posing for a final camera shot, but managed to take out an expensive drone.
