The future of the Mclaren driver, Daniel Ricciardo, has been a topic of discussion for some time now. His time with the Woking-based outfit has not been a smooth ride. A win in the first season gave hope, but the current season’s form is far from ideal. The Australian is a world-class driver. However, he is yet to showcase that for Mclaren.

Taking matters into his own hands, Honey Badger issued a statement on his social media, putting all the rumors to bed.
The Mclaren man’s statement read, “There have been a lot of rumors around my future in Formula 1, but I want you to hear it from me. I am committed to McLaren until the end of next year and am not walking away from the sport.”
“Appreciate it hasn’t always been easy, but who wants easy! I’m working my ass off with the team to make improvements and get the car right and back to the front where it belongs.”
“I still want this more than ever. See you in Le Castellet. Daniel.”
