Earlier this week, Felipe Massa’s six-year-old son Felipinho challenged F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo to a Crazy Cart race.

Daniel Riccardo’s accepted the challenge, stating on Instagram that he was “sick of being bullied by (Felipe Massa’s) kid Felipinho.”

On Friday, it was finally time to see which one truly had the skills.

In a Facebook video recorded and commentated to by Felipe Massa, the two square off on a patio in Monaco. Ricciardo wins one round of rock-paper-scissors to claim pole position for the 10-lap race. However, Massa had the lead by the time they got into turn one and never looked back.

“He’s good, very consistent as well. I drove a perfect race, but you are just too good, man,” commented Ricciardo after the race.

Formula One will be back in action next weekend in Russia, although Felipinho does not have a ride in that series... yet...
