Texas GP: Daniel Ricciardo rides horse through paddock flanked by cowboy playing guitar

Daniel Ricciardo was seen trotting into the paddock on horseback, wearing full cowboy gear, ahead of this weekend’s US Grand Prix.

The F1 star was also flanked by a country singer playing the guitar as he made his eye-catching entrance.
