Daniel Ricciardo posts topless photo from his hospital bed and tells fans about surgery on his broken hand – just after he was pictured shirtless and ‘jacked’ on the cover of an erotic novel
- Ricciardo posts update on his shirtless injuries from hospital
- The Australian broke a bone in his fall on Friday
- Was recently depicted topless on the cover of an erotic novel
Daniel Ricciardo has posted a shirtless post-surgery photo from his hospital bed after a crash during a practice session ruled him out of the Dutch Grand Prix with a broken wrist.
The Australian pulled out his AlphaTauri at steep turn three in practice at Zandvoort on Friday and would have been fine had he not released his grip on the steering wheel on impact with the wall.
His smash seems to have occurred after being distracted by the McLaren of Oscar Piastri, his compatriot who had just hit the wall at the same place on the Zandvoort circuit.
The 34-year-old was taken to a local hospital with his left arm in a sling. An X-ray later revealed a metacarpal fracture in his left hand.
On Monday morning, he took to Instagram to provide an update on his injury after undergoing surgery.

The Australian F1 star was recently portrayed shirtless in an erotic novel
‘Hello everyone. Had surgery this morning, did my first metal job so that’s pretty cool,” he wrote alongside a shirtless photo of himself.
“A big thank you to everyone who reached out to me and kept my spirits up.
“It’s not a setback, it’s just part of the comeback.”
The beloved star’s shirtless photo comes just a week after he made headlines for being portrayed chiseled and topless on the cover of an erotic novel.
Anita Driver’s 34-page short story, “Overtake My Heart: Thicc Ric Races for Love,” was published in July and is available on Goodreads and Amazon.
The Australian F1 driver called the Eff One with DRS podcast to discuss the book with host Dax Shepard.
“I’ve never heard of it, I think I’m flattered, I don’t know but I can’t say I’ve heard of it,” he said.
“I also assume you’re not kidding, but I’m very gullible,” he added.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner thinks Ricciardo could return to Singapore GP
Daniel soon realized it was very real when he was shown the cover of the book, which features an illustration of him looking really, really buff.
” What is that ? But I look disturbed, he said, laughing.
The cover also indicates that this is the first volume of 69 in the series of erotic adventures by Daniel Ricciardo.
A sassy passage says, “Emily found herself drawn to the sight, her heart beating faster as she imagined what it would be like to touch that thick, powerful neck.
“No other neck could compare. They say a man is 75 percent water, but Daniel isn’t. He was 75 percent in the neck.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner believes Ricciardo could return to the wheel in time for the Singapore Grand Prix on September 17.
“I’m sure in the back of his mind he probably has Singapore as his target. But then again, Singapore is probably one of the toughest circuits on the calendar. But nature will take its course,” Horner said.
