Ricciardo F1 SHAMBLES proves McLaren complaint is legitimate

The 2024 season was the first time in Formula 1 history that all 20 drivers who started the year remained in the same seats they occupied at the end of the previous campaign.But fast forward six months and, perhaps inevitably, the unique status quo has not been able to hold. With Logan Sargeant already dropped by Williams shortly after the summer break, Daniel Ricciardo seems to be on his way out of the exit door too.The build-up to Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix was dominated by speculation that the ebullient Aussie, a firm fan favourite throughout his 13 years in the top tier of motorsport, is set to be dropped by the RB team in favour of Liam Lawson for the remainder of the season. The rumours further swelled when Ricciardo himself confirmed that his current contract does not include the final six races of the current campaign. Choking back tears in the media pen after finishing 18th, he acknowledged the fact that this could well have been the final race of his F1 career.”A lot of emotions,” Ricciardo strained. “I am aware it could be it. Just exhausted after the race, so a flood of emotions and feelings and exhaustion. The cockpit is something I got very used to for many years. Just wanted to savour the moment.”
