Daniel Ricciardo<\/a> can't have imagined his Formula 1<\/a> career would one day make him the subject of erotic fan fiction.<\/p>\n

Now, that day has come, leaving the eight-time grand prix winner in hysterics.<\/p>\n

The author, whose punny name 'Anita Driver' is conspicuous in itself, has published a 50-page Ricciardo-based novel \u2013 Overtake My Heart: Thicc Ric Races For Love.<\/em><\/p>\n

The book is apparently the first of 69 "in the Daniel Ricciardo Romance Series" by the author.<\/p>\n

Touted as a "great gift for mum", the cover features an artwork of a topless Ricciardo straddling a Red Bull Formula 1 car with flames in the background.<\/p>\n

Published in July, the book has finally been sighted by Ricciardo.<\/p>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Eff One with DRS<\/em> podcast, the Perth product chortled as he read the contents of the cover.<\/p>\n

"I have never heard of this," he said.<\/p>\n

"I think I'm flattered, I don't know. But I can't say I've heard of it.<\/p>\n

"I'm also assuming you're not joking but I am very gullible.<\/p>\n

"First I've heard\u2026 Heidi's (Ricciardo's girlfriend) just showed me," he laughed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

"What the hell? What the f— is this? I look jacked though."<\/p>\n

The book is listed on Amazon and its description reads: "Rev up your engines for a sizzling, high-octane romance! 'Overtake My Heart' will take you on a heart-stopping ride filled with passion, speed, and heartbreak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Anita<\/p>\n

"Follow 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"You'll be on the edge of your seat until the very last page!"<\/p>\n

"Driver" has two other Formula 1-inspired books listed, namely "Charles Leclerc and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Monaco Grand Prix: A book of sadness and disappointment for children" and "Stop, Drop and Stroll: The Lance Stroll Inspired Guide to Fire Safety for Kids."<\/p>\n

The children's book and erotic novelist describes herself as "a Formula 1 enthusiast who has attended every Spanish Grand Prix since 1991."<\/p>\n

Her hilarious bio continues, "She first learned to love cars when she was struck by one at the age of 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"She currently resides in a flat in New York with her 29 cats who are all named Bernie Wigglestone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"She once shared a cab with Margaret Thatcher and has a very festive pair of ruby slippers that she wears when she's feeling fancy."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
