After the Singapore GP, Daniel Ricciardo hinted that he would no longer be racing in F1. Now, RB has officially confirmed that Liam Lawson would be replacing the Honey Badger for the rest of the 2024 season. Oscar Piastri‘s mother Nicole Piastri had a few kind words for Ricciardo.
Oscar Piastri had replaced Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren in 2023. However, mom Nicole Piastri remains a big fan of Ricciardo, considering they all come from ‘Down Under.’ Subsequently, she took to X to give a farewell message to the RB driver.
Nicole Piastri congratulated Ricciardo for having a stellar career at the pinnacle of motorsport. She was looking forward to the 34-year-old’s future adventures in the coming months. Moreover, Piastri highlighted that now Daniel Ricciardo could breathe again as he leaves the stressful environment within RB.

Red Bull claims Daniel Ricciardo was ‘informed’ over impending sacking
RB did not utter a single word on Ricciardo’s future during the Singapore GP. It was the Australian driver who admitted that his F1 career was likely coming to an end. Red Bull Motorsport Consultant Dr. Helmut Marko has revealed that the team had informed Daniel Ricciardo that he would be replaced by Lawson from the US GP. Additionally, Marko reckoned that the Honey Badger signed off in style by setting the fastest lap of the race.
He was informed, and the worthy farewell performance was, I think, the fastest lap.
Helmut Marko told Motorsport-Total
Certainly, many are sad to see Daniel Ricciardo be forced out of Formula 1 once again. Unfortunately, the Australian driver failed to make a mark and F1 is a brutal sport. However, one must remember that Ricciardo did achieve a lot in his prime and would remain as one of the most talented drivers of the past decade.
