Rev up your engines Daniel Ricciardo fans, the Aussie F1 star is the subject of a new series of erotic novels.

The book, titled Overtake My Heart: Thicc Ric Races for Love, includes cover art portraying a shirtless Ricciardo and his bulging biceps straddling what looks to be the RB19 car.

The 34-page read is understood to be the first in a series of 69 books being dubbed the ‘Daniel Ricciardo Erotic Adventure Series’.

Readers are encouraged to “rev up your engines for a sizzling, high-octane romance” that promises to take them on a “heart-stopping ride filled with passion, speed, and heartbreak”.

As for the synopsis, the story “follows Emily, a smart and independent woman, as she navigates the thrilling and glamorous world of Formula 1 racing, and tangles with the irresistible, charming playboy, Daniel Ricciardo.

“Will Emily’s love be enough to tame the notorious heartbreaker? Will Daniel risk his career and reputation for the woman who’s captured his heart?

“Buckle up for a love story that’s as unpredictable and exhilarating as the race itself. You’ll be on the edge of your seat until the very last page!”

Ricciardo was told about the books by Dax Sheppard on the US star’s podcast Eff One with DRS.

“I have never heard of this, I think I’m flattered,” the Aussie said. “I don’t know but I can’t say I’ve heard of it.

“I’m also assuming you’re not joking but I am very gullible.”

Ricciardo was then shown the cover art and added: “What the f*** is this? I look jacked, though.”

Fans are loving the first taste of the series giving it an average three star rating out of five.

One review says: “This is a romance novel yet is not the typical story… filled with racing references this book has a better engagement strategy than Ferrari in the last couple years.”

Another says: “Wow what a book. What a love story. What a neck.The footnotes and constant shots at Mazepin were everything.”

Some were less impressed with the apparent lack of erotica: “Read this to my flatmate. We were disappointed in the lack of smut. Can’t believe I read such a long description of Daniel Ricciardo’s neck. Also Emily definitely gives off stalker vibes, like no one would truly find the way she’s acts to him attractive.”

Daniel Ricciardo will race with Alpha Tauri for the rest of the season

SEASON RETURN

Ricciardo returns to the track along with his 19 F1 colleagues this weekend after a three week mid-season break.

F1’s 2023 season resumes in Holland where Max Verstappen will be looking to extend his championship lead on home soil as he edges closer to clinching the world title.

Ricciardo will be seeing the season out as an Alpha Tauri driver having been brought in to replace Nyck De Vries who was unceremoniously sacked in June after a poor run in his rookie season.

Ricciardo has contested two races alongside Yuki Tsunoda finishing 13th and 16th in Hungary and Belgium respectively.

His presence at the struggling team has, according to Red Bull boss Helmut Mark, given staff the lift the needed.

“The change has had a very positive effect, in terms of mood and motivation in the AlphaTauri team,” Marko said.

“While the gap of De Vries was on average three to five tenths, Ricciardo, if you adjust for all that, is significantly less, if not on par with Tsunoda.”
