Following a dismal weekend at the Singapore Grand Prix, Ricciardo was swiftly axed from VCARB and replaced by Liam Lawson.

Despite Lawson’s step-up to Red Bull for 2025, Ricciardo did not return to VCARB, with the team instead bolstering their young driver programme and promoting Isack Hadjar.

Will Ricciardo return to F1?

The F1 fan favourite may be out of the sport for 2025, but the impending arrival of Cadillac in 2026 has given rise to hope that Ricciardo could be selected for one of the seats at the 11th team.

However, when asked by a fan if this was a possibility, Ricciardo stated that he was done with F1 as the Aussie’s next move remains highly anticipated.

A switch to a rival motorsport series may be an option for Ricciardo, with the former Red Bull star linked to both NASCAR and the Australian Supercars Championship.
