F1 star Ricciardo swaps four wheels for two
Former F1 star Daniel Ricciardo, who retired in 2024 after being axed by Red Bull’s sister team, has delighted fans by showcasing his motocross skills on social media.
Although Ricciardo initially did not officially retire, he later confirmed he had left F1 for good and would not be returning, despite being considered for a seat at Cadillac.
Now an ambassador for Ford Racing, Ricciardo shared a video on Instagram riding a motocross bike, alongside photos posing in Ford Racing gear on top of a mountain.
While his new role is unrelated to Red Bull’s partnership with Ford in F1, there are suggestions that Ricciardo might make guest appearances with the team in the future, potentially reuniting with former teammate Max Verstappen.
Despite stating he won’t race in F1 again, a joint appearance with Verstappen at a race weekend could excite fans, as the pair’s dynamic was popular during their time together at Red Bull.
