Former Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul says he is a “man of my word” and will honour the bet he made with Daniel Ricciardo in 2020.

He wagered with Ricciardo that if the Australian was able to score a podium with the French outfit before he left for McLaren, Abiteboul would get a tattoo of Ricciardo’s choice.

After leaving the team at the end of 2020, Abiteboul recently came indirectly back into the Formula 1 fold in an advisory role, joining Mecachrome – the group which helps assemble Alpine’s engine.

As Ricciardo earned two podiums before leaving the Enstone team, Abiteboul said he still plans on honouring his bet with his former driver.
