It is relatively fresh news that the Formula 1 World Championship will have a new team in 2026. Daniel Ricciardo could be a returning member…
German magazine Bild has revealed very specific information regarding the fact that the team, which started out as an Andretti project and has now become Cadillac, will mobilize significant forces to try to obtain Daniel Ricciardo, who was recently excluded after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Germans believe that the Australian driver is the best option for the departing team, if only in terms of PR value. According to them, if the Americans were to choose Ricciardo, their popularity rating, which is still non-existent, would be catapulted from 0 to 100. They think it is very important that the entry team starts with an experienced driver, which could be guaranteed by the chosen one. It is not yet known what Daniel Ricciardo's response to all this is; for now he is enjoying the freedom that has rained down on him, but he also has other options if he wishes 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, thus increasing the popularity of the Japanese brand.
Who knows how it will develop, but we think there is still an unresolved question for Danny Ric in F1…
