Daniel Ricciardo’s impressive Formula 1 career victory at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix is under threat of being overshadowed by recent developments concerning his career. The Australian racer, who competed in Formula 1 from 2011 to 2024, was recently dropped by Red Bull’s junior team, VCARB, midway through the 2024 season. Despite his departure from the team, Ricciardo’s career began with the Red Bull family, and he had a significant presence within the team throughout the years.
Ricciardo enjoyed his most successful period with Red Bull between 2014 and 2018. He joined the team to replace Mark Webber, partnering with Sebastian Vettel, and later raced alongside Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappen. His time with Red Bull marked a series of notable performances, including multiple podium finishes. However, his relationship with the team soured after Verstappen was promoted to the main team, which led Ricciardo to leave at the end of the 2018 season.
Ricciardo moved to Renault in 2019, but after failing to secure any race victories during his time there, he chose to switch teams again. In 2021, he joined McLaren, where he achieved his eighth and final career win at the Italian Grand Prix, one of the most remarkable moments of his F1 journey. Unfortunately, his 2021 victory is now at risk of being overshadowed as Ricciardo faces new challenges in his career.
His exit from the F1 scene may result in his famous Italian GP win fading from public memory, as new developments regarding his performance and team changes take center stage. Ricciardo’s journey, full of highs and lows, reflects his adaptability and resilience in the competitive world of Formula 1.
