Fans were surprised to see F1 racer Daniel Ricciardo in attendance at the 2023 Met Gala this week after the comments he made about the event just two year ago.

Daniel was asked on the Pardon My Take podcast back in September 2021 if he’d ever attend the Met Gala.

Days before that interview, Lewis attended the event and purchased a table inside the gala to bring emerging Black designers.

While getting ready for the Met Gala on Monday, Daniel told Vogue, “It’s funny, because I feel I should get more nervous before a race. [But] this certainly feels like I’m stepping out of my comfort zone.”
