Daniel Ricciardo was left red-faced after poking fun at a reporter he thought was Irish in the weekend's post-race press conference

Heard the one about Red Bull's Australian, the Irish accent and the Scottish journalist after the German GP?

It could only be Daniel Ricciardo.

After finishing a brilliant second in the German GP, the ever-smiling Red Bull driver tried out an Irish accent in the post-race press conference when he began to answer a question from journalist Graham Keilloh.

Just one problem: Graham isn't actually Irish.

Cue a very embarrassed Daniel Ricciardo and much amusement from Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

"It's the mixture of champagne and his foot juices," joked Lewis in reference to Ricciardo's unsual podium celebration.
