Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has revealed it would be “interested” in Daniel Ricciardo assuming an off-track role within the team following his exit from Formula 1.
It appears that Daniel Ricciardo’s career as a driver may be coming to an end as Red Bull Racing announced this week that Liam Lawson will be taking over his spot for the remaining six rounds of the season. Lawson, who filled in for Ricciardo in five races last year, will have the opportunity to prove himself for a potential race seat in 2025. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has expressed interest in keeping Ricciardo on the team, as he is highly popular, especially in the United States. However, Ricciardo is taking time to contemplate his future plans, considering if he wants to continue racing or pursue other ventures. Ricciardo has also indicated that he is not interested in being a reserve driver for Red Bull, as he had hoped to secure a race seat again, but acknowledges the increasing competition in Formula 1. Ricciardo wants to leave the sport with good memories and not as a struggling driver, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the sport rather than it becoming a burden.
