RICCIARDO COY ON SUPERCARS OUTING
Ousted McLaren Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo has said he would consider a one-off outing in Australian Supercars in the future, depending upon his 2023 workload.
The 33-year-old is bowing out of F1 next term after 11 full seasons and eight grand prix wins. He has been linked to a test and development role with both Mercedes and his former employer Red Bull but has yet to ink a deal.
Ahead of the recent Brazilian Grand Prix, he said: “I guess I need to wait to see where
I land next year. Obviously
I’m talking about potentially a reserve role or whatever. Truth is, I haven’t agreed to anything or signed anything yet.
“Then it comes to a question of, what am I allowed to do, is one thing, but ultimately, if
I feel maybe doing a one-off will benefit me, and keep me sharp or whatever. Then it’s something I’ll potentially look into. But I’m kind of like, F1 is so different to maybe a touring car that I don’t know if it will kind of distance me more. So that’s what I would need to work out. I’d get some days in an F1 car as opposed to trying to get a seat somewhere else.”
