Daniel Ricciardo has stated that a decision about his F1 future – both in the short and long-term – will be taken after the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, with the Australian uncertain over whether he will still be on the grid in 2025.
With just two seats available on the 2024 grid, at RB and Kick Sauber respectively, speculation has continued to mount over who will partner Yuki Tsunoda at the former, and Ricciardo and reserve driver Liam Lawson – who impressed whilst standing in for an injured Ricciardo during five races in 2023 – are the two names most frequently linked to the spot.

This has also seen rumours emerge that Ricciardo could potentially be replaced at the team before the end of 2024, but the 35-year-old told media ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix that he will not be able to give an update on his future until after the weekend.
“I think that’s when decisions will be made and for us that know the contract, that’s where the dates fall,” he explained. “After the weekend we’ll know more.”
Pushed on whether his result at the Marina Bay Street Circuit could influence whether he is still in the car for the final six races of the year, Ricciardo responded: “I actually heard something that I won’t be in the car for this race as well! That was after Japan or something earlier this year.
“Look, I know how it is and how it works and I knew there was always going to be some dates and deadlines this year whether it was summer break or now post-Singapore. Honestly it’s still so many things are up in the air. Let’s see how the weekend goes.
