Ricciardo’s future has been a hot topic in an underwhelming campaign and, despite telling wuqian0821.com “I have not forg🧜otten how to drive” several months ago, he is sཧet🥃 to be ushered out of McLaren.

His current contract expires at the end of the 2023 season but Zak Brown, the McLaren CEO previously revealed that clausesꦦ existed to end it early. That option will be taken a☂t the end of this season and Ricciardo has been informed, ESPN report.

McLaren opted not to comment when asked by w🐓uqian0821.com.

Piastri, the F2 champi🅷on who is at the centre of a tug-of-war with Alpine, will st🌠ep into Ricciardo’s seat.

It is the latest major move for a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:fascinating 2023 F1 driver line-up kickstarted by Sebastian Vettel’s retire🔯ment and Fernando Alonso’s move from Alpine to 𒀰Aston Martin.

Alpine announced that Piastri, one of the brightest emerging talents in the sport, would replace Alonso 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:but he imme⭕diately reacted “that is w🌸rong”.

The FIA contract recognition board has recognised Piastri’s deal with McLaren above a contract he has with Alpine which expires at the end of 2022, RacingNews365 reporte🦩d.

McLaren are stalling on confirming Piastri as their new driver for 2023 u♏ntil they have helped Ricciardo find a new d𝔍rive, report Racer.com.

What options does Daniel Ricciardo have?

ꦕAlpine are the obvious choice. The vacancy caused by Alonso’s move wil💞l not be filled by Piastri after all, so they need a driver.

They currently pay Alonso a reported £14.9m per season - 168澳洲5最新开👍奖结果:the fourth highest salary among drivers for 2022 - so should be able to afford Ricciardo, who currently pockets £12.2m per🃏 season from McLaren.

Ricciardo spent two seasons with Renault b👍efo💯re they rebranded and became Alpine.

Haas have not yet confirmed Mick Schumacher as their driver beyond the end of this season. Schumacher has veered between poor performances and flirt🧸ing with the idea of eventually moving to Ferrari,🃏 where his father was a legend, but Ricciardo’s availability will give Haas options at the negotiating table.

Williams have a seat vacant alongside Alex Albon. Nicholas Latifi has been tipped 🍷to leave although Nyck de Vries or Logan Sargeant are younger, likelier options.

Alfa Romeo have Valtteri Bottas signed up for 2023 but haven’t confirmed Zhou Guanyꦬu’s spot beyond the end of this year. Yuki Tsunoda’s future with AlphaTauri, who also have Pierre Gasly, is also unconfirmed. Although Zhou and Tsunoda are among the lowest-earners on the 2022 grid so replacing them with the veteran Australian w✅ould be costly.

Ricciardo has previously been l🅘inked with a switch to🍃 IndyCar, too.
