Daniel Ricciardo keeps options open ahead of key season - Sports Leo

Daniel Ricciardo will be keeping a close eye on his mobile phone this season as the Australian’s Formula One future comes into focus.

At the moment, the 30-year-old is committed to the Renault project he signed up for in 2018, but both he and the French manufacturer team will be starting a big year in Melbourne on March 15.

Renault must really start to realise their potential while Ricciardo, out of contract at the end of the year, needs to keep himself in the shop window should the likes of Ferrari or Mercedes come calling.

“Everyone knows how this sport works. If another team calls, I’m not going to block the call or anything. I‘ll answer it and listen to what they have to say,” Ricciardo told Reuters at pre-season testing in Spain.

“What Renault also need to know, and fully trust that I mean it, is that I am still here 100% a Renault driver and right now I have no intention of leaving,” he added.

“I want this to work. I don’t even want to think ‘if it doesn’t work then I’ll figure out something else’. I really just want to have the narrative now of ‘we’re going to try to find a way to make this work.’

Ferrari have Charles Leclerc signed up to the end of 2024, while Red Bull have Max Verstappen under contract for the next four years, and six-times champion Lewis Hamilton is expected to commit to staying at Mercedes.

That leaves, however, potential vacancies in the second driver slots.

“Charles and Max having early signings it does kind of narrow the speculation. I guess Lewis is the next one. And then there’s me,” said Ricciardo.

“I feel like the Ricciardo/Red Bull stuff just happened so I guess we could be in a similar position with the media and all that in the next few months.

“I went through a pretty hectic one moving from Red Bull so I think whatever happens it will be less wild.”
