No Texas for the Honey Badger
This weekend Formula 1 will return to the track in the United States GP, scheduled on the Texan COTA track, after almost a month’s stop. However, when operations resume, one of the pilots most loved by the American public will not be present: Daniel Ricciardo. THE’Honey Badger from Perth was in fact dropped by the Racing Bulls team after the Singapore race to make room for the New Zealander Liam Lawson. The one in #3 seemed to everyone to be a definitive farewell to the Circus and there are those who even fear that they will never see Ricciardo again at the wheel of a racing car, not even in other categories.
The retirement cap
Rumors, the latter, which were amplified by aimage published on Instagram from his friend, former pilot and now host of his own podcast Adam Cianciarulo. In the shot you can see Ricciardo with some friends posing for a photo. However, everyone’s attention was attracted by the hat worn from the former Red Bull, Renault and McLaren driver. In fact, the writing appears on it: “I’m retired, my job is to have fun“.
The current impression is therefore that the 35-year-old, winner of eight GPs in his career, is not particularly interested in testing himself in other categoriesalthough there were several doors potentially open for him in other series, especially IndyCar and NASCAR. However, the possibility obviously remains that Ricciardo just wants to take a period of detachment from motorsport and that he may perhaps think about retracing his steps in some time, seeking new adventures on four wheels.
