Relatively recent news that Formula 1 will expand with a new team in 2026. Daniel Ricciardo could become a potential member of it…
The German magazine Bild has published quite specific information that the team, which started as an Andretti project and has now transformed into Cadillac, is mobilizing serious forces to acquire Daniel Ricciardo, who was fired after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Germans believe that the Australian driver is the best choice for the team, if only in terms of PR value. According to their writing, if the Americans were to choose Ricciardo, their not yet existing popularity index would be catapulted from 0 to 100. According to them, it would be very important for the entry team to start with an experienced racer, which could also be given to the selected driver. What response Daniel Ricciardo has to this is not yet known, he is currently enjoying his suddenly gained freedom, but he also has other options if he wants to continue his racing career. Toyota is tempting him with a salary of 10 million dollars to compete on two fronts, in NASCAR and Australian Supercars, and thus increase the popularity of the Japanese brand.
Who knows how it will turn out, but we think Danny Ric still has unfinished business in F1...
