Daniel Ricciardo left Formula 1 after his exit from Red Bull, post the Singapore GP in 2024. Ricciardo was replaced in favor of Liam Lawson who produced better performance at VACRB compared to Ricciardo. The Honey Badger was an essential part of Formula 1 since his debut in 2011. He was a part of the famed Red Bull junior driver program and raced for Torro Rosso in F1 from 2012-13. Danny Ric was promoted to Red Bull Racing in 2014 after retirement of Mark Webber. He was an instant hit in the team and successfully beat his four-time world champion teammate Sebastian Vettel.<\/p>
The Honey Badger was remarkable at Red Bull until the 2018 season. He acquired seven wins and was considered a future world champion. Ricciardo’s driving style clashed with Max Verstappen in his final season at Red Bull. He spent the following seasons racing for Renault and McLaren. Ricciardo was released early from his McLaren contract in 2021. He spent a year away from F1 to join Red Bull once again racing for them in VCARB in the 2023 season.<\/p>
Amongst the drama created by Red Bull in the paddock considering their driver changes, there was no mention of Daniel Ricciardo. The Honey Badger was among the strongest contenders for the second seat at Red Bull in 2024. However, his sacking completely diminished his chances of return to Red Bull Racing again. The 2025 season brought forth the same problem for the Red Bulls, but this time they have let Tsunoda pilot the second seat<\/a> forward alongside Max Verstappen. Daniel Ricciardo has become a thing of past. It seems like he was not considered as probable driver for Red Bull ever again.<\/p>
