Daniel Ricciardo

Verstappen's current teammate at Red Bull Daniel Ricciardo has earned himself a reputation of being the dark horse for way too long now in F1, and while he hasn't actively challenged for the drivers' crown yet, fans have flocked to the support of this Australian in huge numbers.

Ricciardo has been around for quite a while in comparison with his teammate, but his social media took off after it was revealed that he was moving to Renault for next season, a bombshell announcement that took the world by storm. His numbers will surely increase too, but he may hit a followers' roadblock unless he competes in the top brass again next season.
