Ricciardo supports NFL star Allen

Speaking to People magazine last year after Ricciardo and Allen appeared in an advert together, the former F1 star revealed how close the pair were, labelling him as a ‘brother’.

"It's so funny. I feel like he's [Allen] a big brother," Ricciardo said. "But he's actually a much younger brother, so he's the little big brother."

Ricciardo added to these sentiments when speaking to Hollywood Reporter later and said: "Josh and I, over the last few years, have definitely become good friends and created a bromance, if you will."

Now, the former F1 driver has taken to Instagram to rejoice in Allen’s success in winning the NFL MVP award for 2024, re-sharing a reel from the Bills to his story.

The tribute from the team, captioned ‘dream come true’, captured the success over the course of Allen’s career and celebrated all the quarterback had achieved.
