Daniel Ricciardo has been replaced by Liam Lawson at RB for the remainder of the Formula 1 season.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has mentioned that the team is considering offering Daniel Ricciardo a new role post his Red Bull departure. Ricciardo will be succeeded by Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson for the remainder of the current season. Lawson now has six races to show he’s worthy of partnering Yuki Tsunoda next season or even potentially Sergio Perez at Red Bull. Although Ricciardo won’t be contending for a seat, Red Bull is intrigued to keep him around for PR duties, given his popularity. Marko believes Ricciardo might retire from motorsport altogether after leaving F1, rather than shifting to another racing category, posing a significant decision ahead for the Australian driver. The advisor also pointed out that the way Ricciardo plans his future life, especially concerning PR activities in absence of active racing, is crucial.”
