The veteran has confirmed that he won’t be in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up after leaving McLaren at the end of this season.

Ricciardo has “closed” negotiations to be a reserve driver but it will not be for Mercedes, Sky reported during Qualifying at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 United States Grand Prix.

It could be💯 with Red Bull, the team he formerly represented, Sky speculated.

Ricciardo had previously insisted that becoming a r💝eserve driver in a major team would tee him 🦂up for a brighter future than accepting a full-time seat further down the grid.

He had been heavily linked to a reserve role with Mercedes, despite 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton dissuading hi൲m and🌼 advising that he remains in F1 full-time, but that avenue is now seemingly closed.

“You will see me around,”⛎ Ricciardo teased this week.

“It will look different for me but there is very much a p♕lan in place.

“I am not chec⛄king out and saying ♐‘see you later’. It’s far from that.

“I am putting together a plan to, honestly, get me back to the front of ♉the grid, to win races, and to do the stuff that 🐼I know that I can.”

Ricciardo is currently 12th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings amid a disappointing year.
