Daniel Ricciardo may have driven his last race in an F1 car in the Singapore GP 2024. The Australian, who looked strong even to hear himself to Red Bull of Sergio Perezyou know it Liam Lawson to take on role at RB in 2025… but that the New Zealander’s landing can be brought forward even for the Austin test.
That’s how excited I was. He couldn’t hold back his tears at the thought, which he may already know, of not returning to Formula 1 after a race at Marina Bay during which He was voted “Driver of the Day”.
“I always said that “I didn’t want to come back just to be on the grid” he said after his return to F1, under the Red Bull mantle, after a not-so-brilliant period at McLaren.
And he explains: “I wanted to fight at the front and come back with Red Bull, but it wasn’t possible. It didn’t pay off. I did my best, So let’s say that maybe the fairy tale ending didn’t happen.”
“I have to look back on these 13 years. I’m very proud. There are so many things, like a torrent of emotions and exhaustion”, account.
Furthermore, Ricciardo explained this fast lap that could be the key to the World Cup: “If Verstappen wins the title by one point “That would be a nice Christmas present.”
