Daniel Ricciardo has admitted he will need “time to figure out” his next career move if his time in F1 comes to an end following last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.
While nothing has been formally announced by Red Bull yet, Ricciardo is expected to be replaced by Liam Lawson for next month’s race at the Circuit of the Americas.
The Australian gave a number of in-depth interviews after a difficult race in Singapore, including one with F1 TV, where he was very emotional after potentially his final outing in F1.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the race in Singapore, Ricciardo described F1 as “exhausting” as he weighed up his next career move if he loses his full-time seat.
“I don’t know. It’s exhausting,” he said. “We all know that. It’s exhausting. Look, if this is it and things move on without me I think firstly I will give myself time to figure out what’s next. I am also grateful for the career.
“Getting to F1 was a dream let alone being here for over a decade and having the chance to fight for wins.
“I don’t want to look back and be ‘oh, poor me’. It’s been great and maybe it’s something different.
“Maybe I go on and climb mountains or something.”
