Daniel Ricciardo announces new project as Cadillac F1 owner makes historic deal – RacingNews365 Review
Daniel Ricciardo has announced a new project post his exit from the F1 grid last year, parting ways with the RB team following the Singapore Grand Prix in 2024. The eight-time grand prix winner faced challenges with the Red Bull sister team, leading to his departure.
TWG Global, the owner of the Cadillac F1 team, is reportedly purchasing the Los Angeles Lakers for a record-breaking figure, likely valuing the team at $10 billion. This transaction is set to be the biggest sale ever seen in the sphere of professional sports teams.
Max Verstappen has surpassed Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari record with Red Bull and is now aiming for Lewis Hamilton’s all-time mark as he approaches the Canadian Grand Prix with 116 podium finishes. The Dutch driver ties for second all-time with Schumacher’s achievement at Ferrari between 1996 and 2006.
Max Verstappen admits that F1 will not return to the Nordschleife due to its extreme danger, though the circuit continues to accommodate various motorsport events like GT3 endurance competitions. This historic track is deemed too risky for Formula 1 cars.
Oscar Piastri remarked on McLaren’s unusual struggle for dominance during the Canadian Grand Prix, suggesting that the race would have needed to be “100 laps” for the team to exhibit its typical superiority over other competitors. Despite this claim, McLaren finished fourth in Montreal, failing to showcase their usual tire dominance.
