As Daniel Ricciardo accepts the reality that he will not be racing in Formula 1 next season, we finally understand why the best option he seemed to have for 2023…never became an option. Ricciardo has probably known for a while he will not be racing in F1 next season and has now admitted it publicly in the wake of Alpine signing Pierre Gasly. A possible reunion with the Renault works team seemed like Ricciardo’s only serious opportunity once it became clear he would leave McLaren at the end of the year. But that wasn’t the case, and we’ll explain why. Now, what Ricciardo is looking at as only a sabbatical next season carries a serious risk of becoming the end of his grand prix career. #F1 #DanielRicciardo #Alpine Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please al
