Daniel Ricciardo may not have been out of F1 for long, but other racing championship are already vying for his attention.
Recently, RB sidelined Daniel Ricciardo for Liam Lawson in Formula 1, prompting interest from the Australia and New Zealand-based Supercars Championship as a potential new home for the eight-time grand prix winner. The response to Ricciardo’s departure from Red Bull suggests a second comeback in F1 is unlikely, making Supercars an appealing option. Supercars chief executive Shane Howard expressed a strong interest in courting Ricciardo and highlighted the excitement of having him race in their series, especially at iconic locations like Bathurst. Supercars, featuring Ford and Chevrolet cars, has a history of launching successful racing careers and is eager to approach Ricciardo when the time is right for a potential partnership. The prospect of Ricciardo racing in a Supercar at events like a new street race in Perth or the prestigious Bathurst 1000 is viewed as a significant opportunity for both the championship and fans alike.
