After this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix the 202🌜2 season will conclude in Abu Dhabi, which could be the final race in the career of Ricciardo who debuted 11 years ago.

He won’t be in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up and, although he is negotiating a reserve driver role for next season, h🌸e knows it may not result in his goal of returni𝔉ng to the grid in 2024.

“I feel a bit of ꦕrisk on both sides,” Ricciardo said. “But if I was to be back on the grid in 2🍸024, this has the biggest upside.

“I think 𝓀the risk is jumping into a seat next year. 

“It’s shown here in my time at McLaren that nothing’s guaranteed in terms of performance. So if it was, for whatever reason, to be a relatively unsuccessful campaign, I think personally I woul🔴d probably be done with the sport. 

“So that risk seems way bigger than the risk of sitting✅ out a year.”

Ricciardo said about the possibility of never receiving an offer to return: “I’m certainly aware and I’m also at peace wi𝔍th it if that’s the case — I’m standing with my decision. Look, I don’t want this to be my last two races in F1, but if it is then I accept that could be an outcome.

“Because I’m at peace with that, I’m then betting on myself that doing what I’m doing will prepare me for the best version of myself if I do get the opportunity. I think it’s one where if I get the opportunity I don’t want 💙to be Daniel operating at 95 percent, I want to be fully charged.

“People might say: ‘Well if you’re intere𒁃sted in 2024, why aren’t you interested in next year?’ 

“But I know the way I’ll feel having some time off and watching the races from the TV or somewhere in the paddock. It will give me all that൲ hunger back.

“I have the hunger, but I want it to be overflowing and I know just a bit of time off will do that, because I get it in a summer break and that’s only two or three weeks off. I really felt it in🌃 COVID when we ⛎had three months off or something, and I felt that was probably my best season since 2016.

“So I know what a bit of absence does for me. I appreciate every driver is different and💯 they feel how they feel, but I know that the right time off next year will make me 𝕴very hungry to be back on the grid in 2024.

“That’s why I say I do want to be back in 2024, but there’s no guarantees. I can’t sign a contract today to g🌃uarantee me a seat in 2024 — no one will do that, it’s not possible. But I’ll just try to do🏅 all I can next year to show that I still have the desire and the skill to do it.”

Ricciardo is 12th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings.
