168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo is a leading candidate to join the new Cadillac F1 team when it enters the world championship in 2026🍌, it has been claimed.

The 35-year-old Australian was dropped from RB and replaced by168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Liam Lawson with si༺x races to go in 2024 because ♐Red Bull’s management were left unconvinced by his performances.

Ricciardo’s 𝓀axing appeared to be the end of his F1 career but a new report from Germany claims that the eight-time grand prix winner could be offered a lifeline by Cadillac and General Motors.

The US brand has an agreement in principle with F1 to join the championship in 2026 as the sport’s 11th team, providing two exไtra seats on the grid. While their entry has not yet been o♕fficially rubber-stamped, it is expected to be a formality. 

German newspaper Bild claims that “The Australꦚian is the big favourite for a cockpit at the American racing team.”

The report adds “[Ricciardo’s] comeback at Cadillac would catapult the new team’s popularity f🌄rom zero to 100.”

$10m Toyota deal touted

Ricciardo is yet to announce his post-F1 plans but has foundꦡ himself linked to other motorsport series.

Race.news report that a former Toyota executive 𒀰has admitted the Japanes🎀e manufacturer wants to sign Ricciardo.

Toyota are reportedly willing to offer Ricciardo up to $10m to race in🧜 NASCAR in the United States, and V8 Supercars in 𝕴his native Australia.

Akio Toyoda, the chairman of Toyota Motor Co𒆙rporation, allegedly chaired a ‘behind closed doors’ ꧃meeting to discuss it.

“I’ve been told that Toyoda-san can see his (Ricciardo) value, not just as a driver, but as someone who can drag in the f🌱ans in huge numbers 𝓰because of his natural charisma,” the source was quoted.

“He (Toyoda) can’t see any downside with having him as the face of 🎉Gazoo Racing which really is his pet project. And, from what has been told to me, it’s almost a blank cheque operation to get him to say yes.”

In a statement on Instagram following his F1 depar💛ture, Ricciardo wrote: "I’ve loved this sport🌃 my whole life. It’s wild and wonderful and been a journey.

"To the teams and individuals that have played their part, thank you. To the fans who love the sport sometimes more than me, haha, tha♉nk you. It’ll always have its highs and lows but it’s been fun and truth be told I wouldn’t change it.”

"Until the next adventure."
