After a season full of speculation, Daniel Ricciardo's exit from McLaren at the end of the current Formula 1 campaign has been confirmed by the British ...

British driver Lando Norris has impressed this term despite Ricciardo's struggles and is currently seventh in the table, with the schedule set to resume with Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix after a month's break. I’ve enjoyed working with everyone at McLaren both trackside and back in Woking and will be giving my all on and off track as we enjoy the remainder of the season together." [Oscar Piastri](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/oscar-piastri) has been [linked with a move to Woking](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formula-1/mclaren-sign-piastri-ricciardo-alpine-27669355) as Ricciardo's replacement, though the reigning Formula 2 champion is in demand. It remains unclear as to where the former Red Bull driver will go if he's to remain in Formula 1. "McLaren Racing and Daniel Ricciardo have mutually agreed that Daniel will leave the team at the end of the 2022 season," read a team statement. Williams are also understood to be in the hunt for the prospect's signature next season.

Daniel Ricciardo will leave McLaren at the end of the year, but it's almost impossible to imagine him not racing in Formula One next season.

While Ricciardo will need to rebuild his reputation wherever he does end up next the F1 grid would be a much worse off without him racing on it. The American team has been impressive this season in the midfield but it would be a massively risky move given its limited resources. A Ricciardo-Magnussen driver line-up would quite comfortably be Haas' best since it joined the grid in 2016. The team has let Fernando Alonso and, in all likelihood, Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastri (who looks set to replace Ricciardo at McLaren) slip through its fingers in the space of a few months through some fairly remarkable mismanagement of the situation. Alpine's current reputation has taken a bit of a battering in recent weeks in how badly it has managed the short- and long-term future of its driver line-up. The most appealing part of that move would come from Alpine's position alongside McLaren in the competitive order.

In that case, Ricciardo may be forced to look elsewhere. There is a scenario, though, where Ricciardo is forced to exit with the options not exactly plentiful for 2023. He would have seen the motivation dissipate from former Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel in a similar scenario at Aston Martin. Piastri looked likely to join the Grove team in 2023 on loan from Alpine before this transfer saga began. Would he rather start afresh with a new, albeit slower in the short term, team? But should the Contract Recognition Board rule in Piastri's favour, Ricciardo offers the solace of a hungry known quantity, who on his day is still rapid.

Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel has pointedly laid the blame for Daniel Ricciardo's problems at the feet of McLaren.

“I think it’s always good to sit back sometimes and just enjoy the time because, whatever comes next, it will be great. “But sometimes it’s better to just step out of it and try something else, but I don’t know.
