Daniel Ricciardo failed to deliver enough performances to avoid being replaced by Liam Lawson.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko wanted to dismiss Daniel Ricciardo after the Spanish Grand Prix in June, as revealed by Christian Horner. Following the Singapore GP, Red Bull announced that reserve driver Liam Lawson would replace Ricciardo for the remaining six races. This marks an end to Ricciardo’s 13-year F1 career that began in 2011 at HRT, where he has been outperformed by Yuki Tsunoda this season. Despite some positive showings, Ricciardo’s lack of consistency led to Red Bull making the decision, despite Horner intervening to give him a chance to improve. Ricciardo’s goal was to return to Red Bull, but his performance did not meet the standards to replace Sergio Perez, leading to his exit from the team.
