Ricciardo was initially tipped to replace a struggling Sergio Perez at Red Bull, however his failure to eclipse team-mate Yuki Tsunoda severed this opportunity.

Not only did Ricciardo fail to dominate Tsunoda, but it was the Japanese driver who delivered consistently for RB, and was rewarded with a contract for next season.

What will Daniel Ricciardo do next after F1 exit?

Since leaving F1, there has been increased speculation about what the 35-year-old will do next with his career.

F1’s US audience have embraced Ricciardo, whose personable demeanour has attracted fans to the sport through Netflix docu-series Drive to Survive.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has tipped Ricciardo for a role in front of the camera, whether for the media or through a documentary, with the star currently co-producing F1 comedy series Downforce.

Reports have also claimed he could race elsewhere, ranging from a return home to Australia for the Supercars Championship, or across the pond to NASCAR.

Ricciardo also appeared on American motocross racer Adam Cianciarulo's Instagram, dressed in a racing suit in a caption that read “rode pit bikes for 8 hours yesterday, and it was glorious.”
