Daniel Ricciardo is one of many bidding farewell to his team this season. Ricciardo joined Renault in a surprise move at the end of 2018. He moved from Red Bull after the intensity between Max and him boiled over.

Ricciardo had an underwhelming first season with Renault. The Enstone-based outfit had promised the Australian that they will show significant improvement by 2020. However, Ricciardo announced at the beginning of this season that he will join McLaren next season.

Ricciardo had a strong race and finished the season with a P7 finish. He claimed a couple of podium finishes for the French team this season.

After the race, Daniel Ricciardo and Cyril Abiteboul thanked each other for the last two years. Ricciardo said, “Thanks guys, that’s a nice way to send it off. Thank you, Merci. Thank you guys for these last two years. I appreciate it, Thank you.”

Renault F1 boss Cyril Abiteboul also thanked Ricciardo for his time in Renault. This season has been much better for both. Cyril said, “It’s been a strong race today, doing the most we could out of it given the starting position. Look forward to racing against you next year.”

“We can have a beer tonight,” Ricciardo stated. “Two,” suggested Cyril. Daniel Ricciardo also snatched the fastest lap in the last lap of the race from his former teammate Max Verstappen.
