Renault Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo says he would “never completely disregard somet💞hing” and has refused to rule out a potential return to Red Bull in the future.

The Australian shocked the F1 paddock when he made the bombshell announcement that he would be leaving Red Bull to ဣjoin midfield leaders Renault in 2019.

Ricciardo is one of the most high-profile drivers out of contract at the end of the year, along with reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton anওd Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.

Asked whether he would ever consider rejoining Red Bull at some point in🤡 his career on the Sky Sports 𒈔F1 Vodcast, Ricciardo replied: “I actually haven't really been asked that one!

"Would I ever rule out going to Red Bull? No... I think something I've learned growing up in life is nev𒀰er say never.

"Never completely disregard something - unless 🉐it's going 𒁏to prison or something! So never say never.”

Ricciardo has been linked with a move away from Renault after a frustration maiden campaign at the💙 French manufacturer, in which the team slipped to fifth in t🐟he constructors’ championship behind midfield rivals McLaren.

Despitꩲe 🎶the racing hiatus caused by the ongoing global coronavirus crisis, Ricciardo admitted that talks about his future have effectively been put on hold for the time being.

"It is hard having chats right now, because we are at a stalemate - nothing's really happened," he added. "Nor🙈mally chats start to come off the back of races, results 🌼and momentum.

"There's honestly not a lot to ♑talk about for now, it's more about the current situation and how we're going to deal with it. It's allဣ pretty slow and steady to be honest at this stage."

But Ricciardo, who claimed seven grand prix victories at Red Bull  insisted he can still reach the same l🔜evels he hit back in 2018: “What I've done in the past I certainly 🀅100% know I can do it again.”
