Daniel Ricciardo is the subject of the latest RacingNews365 poll.
At the start of the 2024 summer break, Daniel Ricciardo’s future in F1 remained uncertain, with possibilities ranging from staying at RB or leaving the sport altogether by the end of the season. Despite hopes of a Red Bull return being dashed by Sergio Perez’s retention, Ricciardo now faces the challenge of fending off Liam Lawson for his seat. Lawson’s impressive stand-in performances have caught the eye of Red Bull’s Helmut Marko, hinting at a possible 2025 race seat for the young driver. However, it seems that only one of Ricciardo or Lawson will secure that seat, with Lawson considering other options if not retained by Red Bull. The question remains: has Ricciardo’s performance been strong enough to secure his seat for 2025? While he has shown flashes of brilliance with point-scoring finishes and competitive qualifying results, the final decision hangs in the balance.
