In his Instagram post, Ricciardo wrote, “I’ve loved this sport my whole life. It’s wild and wonderful, and it’s been quite the journey. Thank you to the teams and individuals who have been part of it. To the fans who sometimes love the sport even more than I do, haha, thank you! It will always have its highs and lows, but it’s been fun, and honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. Here’s to the next adventure.”

Daniel Ricciardo's career

Ricciardo's exit from F1 comes after 257 race starts, three pole positions, eight wins, 32 podium finishes, and a total of 1,329 points, with his best finish being third in the drivers' championship.

He began his journey with the Red Bull junior team in 2011 and was promoted to the senior team in 2014. He quickly established himself as a skilled driver known for his daring overtakes, leading some commentators to predict he would become a world champion.

However, in 2018, amid rising tensions with teammate Max Verstappen, Ricciardo made the pivotal choice to leave Red Bull. Since then, his career has faced challenges, aside from a notable victory with McLaren in 2021. The following year, he was dropped by McLaren as he struggled to find his form. Ricciardo returned to the Red Bull family last year as a reserve driver, earning another chance with the junior team, but ultimately, he could not reclaim his previous success.
