Daniel Ricciardo not rushing his future decision yet

McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo is without a seat for next year. However, the Australian is not rushing to make a decision just yet. Speaking ahead of his race in Suzuka, Daniel said he has always been transparent so far.

Ricciardo said, “It’s not as simple as just the first contract that comes in front of me, sign it, and yeah, I’m back on the grid. I’m not rushed about making a decision. It’s more just if I keep going with the rest of the season, the more it will become clearer what’s going to be best for me.”

With Pierre Gasly signing for the Alpine Racing team and AlphaTauri announcing the signing of Nyck de Vries, Ricciardo’s chances for a seat next year are getting extremely small. Furthermore, the 8-race winner has been tipped to take the Mercedes reserve spot for next year.
