It's relatively recent news that the Formula 1 World Championship grid will expand with a new team in 2026. Daniel Ricciardo could be a recurring member of this…
The German magazine Bild has published very concrete information that the team that began as an Andretti project, now morphed into Cadillac, will mobilize serious forces to try to land Daniel Ricciardo, who was fired after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Germans believe the Australian driver is the best option for the team in its debut, especially in terms of public relations value. According to their article, if the Americans were to choose Ricciardo, their popularity rating, which does not yet exist, would catapult from 0 to 100. They believe it would be very important for the debuting team to have an experienced driver, which could also be available with the chosen one. As for Daniel Ricciardo's response to all this, it is not yet known; for now, he is enjoying the freedom that has been bestowed upon him, but he has other options if he wishes to continue his racing career. Toyota is tempting him with a $10 million salary to compete on two fronts, in NASCAR and Australian Supercars, and thus boost the Japanese brand's popularity.
Who knows how it will play out, but we believe Danny Ric still has unfinished business in F1…
