Daniel Ricciardo offered “something will come” career hope
“He’s 35. He can do other things"

Daniel Ricciardo has been told that other opportunities will arise despite 🌸being banished outside of the Formula 1 grid.
Ricciardo has lost his RB drive and will be replaced by Liam Lawson for the🦄 remainder of the F1 seasಌon.
With no contract for 2025, it seems that the Aust💙ralian veteran’s career in F1 is finished.
“He is ൲not performing to what he’s capable of,” ex-Haas boss Guenther Steiner said on the♏ Red Flags podcast.
“In Singapore he was out of Q1 while Yuki Tsunoda wen♈t into Q3 in the same car.
“𒁏I don’t thin✱k it would hurt him personally if he left.
“He’s 35. He can do other things, even in motor racing. He is aဣ cool du𒀰de.
“He has done a lot of stuff and needs to bജe proud. He doesn’t need to feel broken. Move on with your life, Danny.
“He made good money. Go to the ranch in Western Australia. G🙈o there, retire there a bit. He doesn’t have to wor🔯ry.
“Something will come. One door closes…”
Ricciardo has not yet indicatedﷺ what he will do next after losing his F1 race seat.
The opportunity will r🐽eportedly exist to remain within the Red Bull driver pool.
Whether Ricciardo could be attracted by other𒆙 motorsport series remains to be seen.
Steiner has issued a reminder that his recent struggles with McLaren and RB came after a glorious period which established Ricciardo as a top♋ driver.
“He was a good racing car d🍃river, he won races,” Stein💟er said.
“He was racing wit🃏h Max and decided to move on. It worked for a while.”
Steiner said of Ricciardo alongside L🎀ando Norris at McLaren: “Having a teamm🍌ate who beats him…
“Like Nico Hulkenberg, when he was at R💜enault with Danny, he almost finished his career. Danny a꧋lmost finished Hulkenberg’s career.
“But now look at Hulkenberg, he runs circles aroun�ꩵ�d Danny.
“This sport is so 🍌on the edge. The ✃pressure which got to Danny is that everybody was watching him.
“Maybe he wasn’t prepared for that.”
