FORMULA 1 star Daniel Ricciardo declared himself ‘Gilmore Happy’ after sinking a monster 50ft putt – and celebrated like he had won the lottery.

The Australian Renault driver was enjoying some time off before this weekend’s Portugal GP.

Ricciardo set the putt off from all of 50ft away

Ricciardo then does Happy Gilmore’s famous celebration after seeing the ball drop

Brit hero Lewis Hamilton – who recently had to change his own tyre when his car broke down – is miles ahead of everyone else on a record-tying 91 wins.

But Ricciardo – who had a nasty crash in Styrian GP practice – proved he is king of the golf course with this ridiculous putt.

The ex-Red Bull driver, 31, posted a video to his Instagram of himself setting off the huge putt.

It looks to be going well right of the hole before catching the slope and rolling back down towards it.

What looked impossible a second earlier now looks likely as the ball keeps tracking its target before dropping in.

The camera then cuts to Ricciardo who jumps up and down, punching the air in delight before copying Happy Gilmore’s famous celebration.

He captioned the clip: “I’d like to go by Gilmore Happy this weekend please.”

Fans were equally impressed.

One asked Ricciardo to organise a sports crossover when they said: “Do a collab with Gareth Bale.”

Another commented: “So every single F1 driver will become a golf player now? Is that right?”

While a fellow user replied: “Full-time golf players, part-time F1 drivers.”

Ricciardo will have to go some way if he wants to mix it with the big boys though.

Patrick Reed showed how good you have to go be at the top with his hole in one at last month’s US Open.

And his hole out was from 165 yards, rather than 50ft.
