The entertainment and motorsport worlds are mourning the loss of legendary actor Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away at the age of 86 at his home in Los Angeles. Beyond his iconic cinematic roles, he cemented his legacy among Formula 1 fans through an unforgettable podium appearance alongside Daniel Ricciardo at the 2017 Canadian Grand Prix.
The race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal saw Lewis Hamilton take a dominant victory. However, the real highlight occurred during the podium celebrations when the veteran actor took charge of the post-race interviews with his signature theatrical delivery.
"Congratulations, Lewis. You might say that there’s nothing like a pleasant, quiet drive along the river on a Sunday afternoon in Montreal. But this was a little different, wasn’t it?" Stewart remarked to the race winner with characteristic flair.
The atmosphere shifted into pure entertainment when attention turned to the Red Bull Racing driver who had secured third place. The crowd immediately anticipated his trademark footwear celebration.
"I think I hear somethingg I have to do something," Ricciardo stated before pouring champagne into his race boot and handing it directly to the Hollywood legend.
Without hesitation, the then-76-year-old actor drank from the sweaty footwear, triggering massive cheers from the roaring fans packed tightly beneath the podium structure.
"This is becoming a ritual! Good vintage! Cheers!" Stewart declared, turning the lighthearted moment into a globally viral sensation that captured the hearts of motorsport enthusiasts everywhere.
Hamilton, standing nearby, chimed in with a humorous reaction about his teammate's footwear. "I’m proud of you for doing that! It’s something I couldn’t do. Have you seen how sweaty his feet are?" the champion noted.
Stewart delivered a witty punchline that instantly entered F1 folklore. "I don’t care – I’m on the podium for the first time; I’ll drink out of anybody’s shoe!"
The lighthearted exchange captured the unique crossover between pop culture and elite racing, leaving an indelible mark on the sport's rich history that fans will cherish for generations.
