Daniel Ricciardo is a firm fan's favourite in F1 but is also popular with a number of his fellow drivers on the grid. He might be a little less popular with Lewis Hamilton this week, however, after the Aussie jokingly took exception to Hamilton's claim that he is training every day during the summer break. From what we've seen on social media, neither of them are! They've all earned some time off, to be fair.
