Daniel Ricciardo não está no grid do GP dos Estados Unidos, mas ainda assim encontrou um palco em Austin. O ex-piloto de Fórmula 1 apareceu num evento da Ford com a Enchanté na noite de sexta-feira e tocou gaita com o cantor e compositor americano Rob Baird numa música original que a dupla escreveu durante uma viagem de carro ao Texas.
Um vídeo de fã publicado no Instagram passou de 7.000 curtidas, com comentários que iam de "Isso curou algo em mim" a "Tenho certeza de que ele era irmão do Bob Dylan ou foi cowboy em outra vida, rs. A gente te ama, Daniel". "Nesse ponto, ninguém se importa com a corrida. Que bom ver o Daniel de volta, mesmo sem correr", escreveu um usuário.
A viagem fazia parte da promoção da nova coleção da Enchanté, The Long Road, à venda numa loja temporária no Distribution Hall, em Austin, com barracas de comida, bebidas, tatuagens relâmpago e simuladores de corrida ao lado.
"Ontem à noite começamos tudo em Lake Havasu, no Ford Raptor Rally, e em alguns dias vamos pegar o caminho longo até Austin", contou Ricciardo aos assinantes antes de partir do Arizona. "E quero dizer loooongo mesmo. Deserto, estradas secundárias, poços para nadar, tudo. Não vou mentir, mal posso esperar."
Ele também foi visto apoiando o piloto da Racing Bulls Liam Lawson, que comandou o Garage Sessions no Inn Cahoots, na East Sixth Street, antes do fim de semana.
