Daniel Ricciardo

DANIEL RICCIARDO looks set to leave McLaren at the end of the season as the F1 team makes plans for 2023.

However, that could depend on when they eventually agree a package for Ricciardo to depart. Ricciardo signed an £11m-a-year basic salary package which was due to run until the end of the 2023 season after replacing Carlos Sainz for the 2021 campaign. The Woking-based F1 team have made the ruthless decision to replace the eight-time race winner after a disappointing campaign.

Daniel Ricciardo is going to be replaced by Oscar Piastri for the 2023 season at McLaren, according to several reports.

For Ricciardo, meanwhile, it could be coming clear that he needs to find a new drive for 2023 if he is to remain on the F1 grid. Indeed, RacingNews365 has broken the story that a deal has been agreed for Piastri to replace Daniel Ricciardo at the Woking-based team, though the former Red Bull driver has a contract with them until the end of 2023. He’s been linked with the Alpine drive for a long time given he’s been in their driver programme for some time, but there is growing evidence to suggest he is going to be driving for McLaren in 2023.

Following a report that Ricciardo has been informed a move is imminent, McLaren seems to have its 2023 lineup.

If he were to join the team, Ricciardo would be joining the seat initially announced for Piastri after Fernando Alonso's surprise switch to Aston Martin earlier in the week. If this does happen, the most likely outcome seems to be a return to Alpine. Although Ricciardo left the team on short notice to join McLaren in the first place, he had a very strong run with what was then Renault after voluntarily leaving Red Bull Racing to take a shot at being a No. 1 driver there. When Palou was signed with some ambiguity about whether or not he could race in Formula 1, Daniel Ricciardo even went as far as to confirm that he was "committed to McLaren until the end of next year."

Autosport reports that Ricciardo has been informed by McLaren that it intends to replace him with compatriot Piastri for next year. It led to speculation that Piastri had an agreement to race elsewhere on the grid, with McLaren listed as the most likely spot.

Daniel Ricciardo has been informed by McLaren that they intend to end his contract early and replace him with Oscar Piastri next season, according to.

Although Zhou and Tsunoda are among the lowest-earners on the 2022 grid so replacing them with the veteran Australian would be costly. Alfa Romeo have Valtteri Bottas signed up for 2023 but haven’t confirmed Zhou Guanyu’s spot beyond the end of this year. That option will be taken at the end of this season and Ricciardo has been informed, ESPN report. Haas have not yet confirmed Mick Schumacher as their driver beyond the end of this season. Alpine are the obvious choice. 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 reported.

Talented rookie Oscar Piastri is engaged in a contract dispute that could leave veteran Daniel Ricciardo without a Formula one seat next season.

With no available seats in F1 for 2022, this left Piastri in no-man's land — with Alpine eventually signing him to a reserve contract for 2022 for the purpose of keeping Piastri affiliated with the team and getting the Australian some experience with the F1 car. Contract disputes in F1 are decided by the FIA Contract Recognition Board (CRB), a group of independent lawyers who settle disputes out of court. Yes, and it should sound especially familiar because McLaren is also at the center of the IndyCar situation. So, will Piastri make his F1 debut in 2023 and for which team? Those rumors seem to have had credence, as RACER reported Friday that McLaren was in exit talks with eight-time race winner Daniel Ricciardo and felt it had a valid contract with Piastri. Oscar Piastri, who is currently the reserve/test driver at Alpine F1 team, was announced Tuesday as one of the team's two primary drivers for the 2023 season.

Daniel Ricciardo might sit well outside the top 10 in the F1 driver rankings but he remains one of the sport's most popular figures.

Webber said it was a “no-brainer” to help out. “Mark knows everybody,” he said. “It reflects very poorly on Brown and McLaren how they have treated Ricciardo over the past six months,” Saunders wrote. That team could even be Alpine if Piastri is able to leave. “Please Alpine don’t take him back!” Tiff Needell tweeted. So give someone else a chance!”

Formula One is famed for its ruthless decisions. Daniel Ricciardo has been sacked by Zak Brown and McLaren mid way through his 2 year contract with the team ...

It appeared the team blamed him for the contact in Baku and that loss of confidence was something Ricciardo never recovered from. Surely it is a no brainer that Alpine recruit the scorned McLaren driver for next season. With hindsight it’s easy to see the mistakes F1 drivers make in their careers, but leaving Red Bull for Alpine in 2019 was Ricciardo’s biggest mistake by far. This was not fatal for Red bull’s Australian driver and he had the confidence of the team to continue. He also needs a car not so on the very edge where it breaks away from the driver without notice. 2017 saw Ricciardo win a race for Red Bull together with 7 podiums but the team was poor who were only third as a constructor. Now Red Bull’s lead driver for 4 seasons Daniel Ricciardo faced his toughest year for the Milan Keynes team.

Cue rumours of an agreement between Piastri and McLaren, and the subsequent departure of Ricciardo. Where Ricciardo goes from here is unclear, given his previous history with the Enstone and Viry-based outfit. Both parties have since tried to paper over the cracks by insisting on a commitment on either end, but that now seems to be on the verge of ending.
