Axed Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo has teased an announcement on his social media profile.

The Australian driver was let go by Red Bull last season after a disappointing start to the season for their VCARB (now Racing Bulls) junior team, as he tried to make his way back to a prime seat in the sport.

Despite hopes that Ricciardo will return to motorsport, whether that is via Cadillac’s 2026 F1 entry or in an American motorsport series such as IndyCar, the 35-year-old is yet to make an announcement over his future and has instead been enjoying life outside of racing.

Ricciardo continues to work on his clothing line Enchanté, whilst also enjoying some time out stateside with friend Josh Allen and his NFL team the Buffalo Bills.

Ricciardo teases cryptic announcement

Taking to his Instagram stories, Ricciardo first of all posted a picture of a fountain in the shape of a racesuit shoe, referencing his iconic podium celebration the Shoey.

The picture was then followed by a date teasing an countdown of some kind, with the key date being named as March 6th 2025.

Whilst it is unclear what the date references, a F1 return seems unlikely for the former Red Bull driver who, when asked about the Cadillac F1 seat, confirmed that he was done with the sport.
