F1 Fans Heave a Sigh of Relief Over Daniel Ricciardo’s Latest Social Media Post Amid McLaren Uncertainty
Follow Us
How does one describe the current situation of Daniel Ricciardo in a single word? Pain. There has been nothing but anxiety around the Australian’s camp since Sebastian Vettel made his retirement announcement. The German star’s mere four-minute long video set off a rather dramatic chain reaction which ultimately dealt a heavy blow to Ricciardo’s 2023 F1 hopes.
As things stand, Ricciardo may not line up alongside Lando Norris over the 2023 season, with fellow Australian youngster, Oscar Piastri, threatening to take over his golden spot. Meanwhile, for Ricciardo, the future is still hazy, thanks to his bitter past with Alpine. Amidst such an anxiety-filled start to the summer break, Ricciardo’s fans have been knocking on McLaren’s social media doors with red-faced reactions.

However, here’s something interesting! Quite surprisingly, Ricciardo doesn’t seem affected by the ongoing shenanigans. After an unusually long silence, the Honey Badger made a return to social media with a happy post on Instagram. The image portrayed a cheerful Ricciardo basking under the sun in a swimming pool. And as always, it’s his wide smile that takes the center stage.

What’s more, the caption read, “Hello, sunshine (in an emoji).” This clearly depicts a contrasting mood to the drama revolving around his Formula One future.

Let’s assume Piastri completes his McLaren switch without much resistance from Alpine. The straightforward scene would be Ricciardo returning to the French outfit, with both McLaren and Alpine accomplishing a swap deal. However, Ricciardo’s bitter relationship with Alpine might show up as a hindrance.

Hence, Mick Schumacher or Pierre Gasly could instead become Alpine’s prime targets, subsequently leaving Ricciardo with the choice of returning to the Red Bull family or exploring the dark waters of Ferrari-backed Haas. Of course, this might sound pretty crazy and absurd.
