Lights Out: Ricciardo wants best car, but for how long?

By Joas van Wingerden.

Daniel Ricciardo is still the talk of Formula 1 town. After his epic Chinese Grand Prix triumph, it's a return to the Australian's specialist subject - his soon-to-expire Red Bull contract! Will he re-sign, join Mercedes or Ferrari, or leave F1 entirely? The latter isn't as farfetched as you might think... It's lights out for Thursday morning!

MUST READ

Ricciardo has been asked about his 2019 destination so much, he's now taken to finding new ways to answer the question - this time aeronautics are involved!

What won't change, however, is the Honey Badger's determination to put himself in the best car from next season.

Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton... and now Ricciardo! F1 could be shorn of some very big names in 2021, depending on how the new regulations shape.

Good job, then, that we have had a glimpse at the 2021 vision of Liberty Media.

Expensive, complicated MGU-H parts will be taken out of power units, making them cheaper. Liberty have also changed fuel and driver weight rules for next season to help cars go flat-out - will it help overtaking?

Our best wishes to Rubens Barrichello, who is on the mend after having a tumour removed from his neck. Rubinho has already been back on-track in Brazil!

And more heartening news comes from the world of Formula E!

Billy Monger will take part in a fundraising electric karting race before the upcoming Paris ePrix, which will benefit charities supporting disabled drivers and has been organised by former F1 driver Jean-Eric Vergne.
