Asked if he had decided his 🌳next m♛ove, Ricciardo said: "Not really.

"There's nothing yet close or confiℱrmed or anything. I can make something up but nothing new to tell you."

Asked if a de🐼al with Red🎀 Bull was finalised, he said: "It's not, I can tell you now. Nothing is done.

"Look, as I have said before, I have nothing to h♔id꧙e.

"From a contractual point of view 🌌I'm free to talk bu𓄧t there's nothing done.

"If som♉ething was done, trust me, I'd be saying it. So there's nothing holding that back."

Ricciardo w𝐆as a Red Bull driver before leaving for Renault.

He could now provide back-up for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez in 2023 in order to s🐷tay visible to return to the grid in 202꧂4.

But McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl has opened the door to keepin🍃g Ricciardo as their reserve driver next season.

“That’s a discussion we 𓂃didn🌠’t have yet," said Seidl.

"It’s a discussion we wo🔯uld usually have in the winter. As you know as well, we have an agreeme♕nt in place with other teams as well in order to share reserve drivers.

“Again, there⭕ is absolutely no hard or bad feelings bet﷽ween Daniel and us and therefore anything is possible.

“It is clear that with Daniel leaving the team, we are losing not just a great driver but also a great personality and he will be deep♓ly missed in the team.

"That is why we are both committed to making sure that in these last races we are doing together, th𝓰at we are still trying to put in some good performances in order to finish our journ🃏ey together on a high.

“I don’t want to go into any speculation of what he is doing next but in the end, whatever he is doi💟ng next, wherever he is a driver next, that’s exactly what his next team or employer will get – a great driver and a great personalℱity.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri will replace Ricciardo, and partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, next season.

Ricciardo crashed out of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix after contact with Kevin Magnussen, and as a result will have a three-place grid penalty for Abu Dhabi. He is 12th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings.
