“Never say never”: Daniel Ricciardo teases racing return
Daniel Ricciardo hinted at a possible return to racing while heading to the Indianapolis 500, stating “never say never” during a recent interview.
After retiring from Formula 1 in 2024, Ricciardo took a break to rediscover himself post-racing, but will be joining driver Conor Daly at the Indy 500 as part of a brand collaboration.
Reflecting on his racing career, Ricciardo admitted that stepping away from the sport helped him develop a healthier perspective on competition.
Although currently content with life outside of racing, Ricciardo remains open to the idea of returning to the track one day for the pure enjoyment rather than chasing championships.
His focus now is on ensuring that any future racing endeavors bring him joy and a sense of fulfillment, rather than pressure to prove himself or be the best.
