The popular veteran will be replaced at McLaren by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri, af𒐪ter the team opted to terminate his contract a year early after a disappointing season.

Ricciardo has confirmed he will not feature in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up after opting against joining teams, such as Alpine or Haas, who 🍃had vacant🧔 seats.

“You will see me around,” he hinted about his plan for the F1 2023 season.

“It will look different for me but th𝔉ere is very much a plan in place.

“I a🌊m not checking out and saying ‘see you later’. It’s far from that.

“I am putting together a plan to, honestly, get me back to the front of the grid, to win races, and to do the stuff that I know 🅷that I can.”

Ricciardo has been heavily linked with taking a reserve driver role at Mercedes, with French T🐓V Canal+ reporting that they were in advanced negotiations.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, however, had ur🐓ged Ricciardo not to accept a reserve role and to remain on the grid.

But Haas and Williams are the only teams with vacant spots for 2023, and Ricciardo has 𝓰already ruled himself out.

A season as a reserve driver at a high-profile team could be seen as a way to keep him in a competitive environment꧂ ahead of a return to the grid in 20๊24.

Ricciardo arrived at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 United States Grand Prix in style, on horseback, but he sits 12th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings after a poor season.
