What's going on everyone, we are here today
and I am here to explain the 'gram to you all.
So, I'm gonna go through some of my archives
and basically just give a little bit of an overview
as opposed to just a caption.
(lively upbeat music)
First one.
This was when I was a little tucker,
at the race track dad was racing
and yeah, I actually remember this shirt.
I think it was a, an Andretti shirt.
So, I think it was like an Indianapolis 500 shirt
and I've got the old earphones,
I've got the Air Jordans on.
It's what I do, it's what I did.
Thanks mum and dad for making me look cool.
And yeah, these are just very early memories of growing up,
you know, the noise and the smell of race cars.
And I think that's where,
that's why my caption is "In the blood",
cause I think it was in me from a very young age.
All right, next one.
So, this was such a cool photo
and these were like, some of my best friends growing up.
So, we got back together when we were a little older
and we re-created a baby image as best as we could.
And again, like, I mean, I'm styling,
I'm back with the Jordans.
I might actually be wearing the same clothes.
And we're all still close, we're all still good mates.
So there's some of my, what I like to call, day ones.
Next one.
So, this is actually, so for those who follow Formula 1,
this is Natalie Pinkham's boy.
So, Natalie Pinkham works for Sky.
We were in Vegas together, me and her husband
and it was quite nice.
He asked me when we got to Vegas, if I'll be a godfather.
So, there you go.
That was me at his, I guess it was his baptism,
maybe, that day?
Looking pretty good, I won't lie,
looking pretty good ole Danny Ric.
All right, next one.
I wanna say, maybe even my first time ever go-karting.
It's cause I recognize the go-kart in the back.
It was my first go-kart, it was called a Demon XP.
It was pretty ugly, but I loved it.
And I think that was probably after school one day
and giving it, giving it a run for the first time.
I mean, I did have my name,
maybe even my mum stitched my name onto my race suit.
I felt pretty good about that.
I would say I look more like a jockey
than a race car driver,
but the afro, the smile, not much has changed.
That's me.
My dimples got bigger, my dimples definitely got bigger.
Next one comin at ya.
So this was like, officially day one as a McLaren driver
and it was quite cool.
McLaren got some G'Day t-shirts made up
to welcome me or for me to welcome myself into the team.
That photo was actually taken in LA,
cause I spent the New Year there.
Just a cheesy little wave.
All right, now we got a video.
So, growing up I loved,
well, I did some boxing, but I actually made a lot of,
a lot of good Dutch friends
and a few of them introduced me to Rico, Rico Verhoeven.
And so he came over one day
and we did a little bit of a session.
So yeah, that was just him giving me a few basic tips,
taking it back to when I use to box.
Rico's an animal.
I want to say his left leg,
may be three of my legs put together.
He's, he's a beast.
Last one, is my most recent Instagram post.
I am known to just like, do some little car jams
and since I was a kid, like I'd always just
filmed myself be an idiot.
It was a, it's just a funny song,
cause it's "I Look Real Good Today"
and he just says that like five times
before he gets into the verse.
"I look real good today"
All right.
So, there's a little bit of an insight.
All right, hope you enjoyed
a little bit of a walk down memory lane or historic path.
I'm being told to wrap it up.
I'll take as long as I want.
You know what?
I will take as long as I want.
Bye. See, I love the camera.
See ya.
(upbeat jaunty music)
Looking pretty good, I won't lie.
Looking pretty good ole Danny Ric.
Just a bit of trivia for ya.
That's about it.
