Daniel Ricciardo has revealed he thought there was a 50 per cent chance that his F1 career was over after leaving McLaren at the end of 2022.
After a disappointing stint with McLaren, Daniel Ricciardo was replaced by Oscar Piastri for the 2023 F1 season. However, he made a comeback as Red Bull’s third driver and later joined AlphaTauri as a mid-season replacement for Nyck de Vries at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Reflecting on the 2022 season, Ricciardo admitted that he thought it could potentially be his last race in F1. He felt rejuvenated and energized by his experiences and even though he missed five races due to a hand injury, he found the time off to be beneficial. Ricciardo now looks forward to racing alongside Yuki Tsunoda in 2024.
