Early exit in qualifying
Last Formula 1 race? That’s it for good!
That's it for good! Daniel Ricciardo was also unable to make his own bid in Singapore qualifying. Sunday may be the last time the Australian sits in a Formula 1 cockpit.
Daniel Ricciardo is facing an early exit from the Racing Bulls Formula 1 team. He has been on probation with the Red Bull sister team for months. The eight-time Grand Prix winner is to be replaced by New Zealander Liam Lawson (22) after the race in South East Asia.
The reason for this is a clause in the Red Bull youngster's contract, according to which Lawson can leave the organization if he does not get a permanent cockpit for 2025 by the end of September.
"Probably makes it easier"
On Saturday, Ricciardo had another chance to draw attention to himself. However, he retired in Q1 in 16th place. "That comes as a surprise to me. The car wasn't too bad in practice and the confidence was there. But in qualifying, I wasn't able to get more out of the car," Riccoardo explained in the ORF interview.
It doesn't look good, his time in Formula 1 is running out. "That probably makes the decision easier," ORF expert Alexander Wurz also expects the 35-year-old to retire prematurely.
