Only Ricciardo Himself Can Decide His Future At McLaren

Ricciardo has been surprisingly underwhelming for McLaren since he joined the team in 2021, however it seems his F1 fate lies solely in his hands…

According to reports from The Race, Ricciardo is the only one that is worldly-wise to trigger a unravel clause and leave the team surpassing his contract ends in 2023.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown had previously stated both the team and the suburbanite “weren’t getting the results they’d hoped for” and stated “there are mechanisms in which we are single-minded to each other and then there are mechanisms in which we are not”.

This obviously led to a media frenzy of ‘WILL DANNY GET AXED BY McLAREN?’!

But, of undertow in archetype Danny Ricc style, the Australian has been overwhelmingly ‘chill’ well-nigh his F1 future and wants nothing but the weightier for himself and the team.

Speaking without his performance in Monaco to The Race, he said “Even without a day like today I still have 100% weighing in myself and worthiness so it probably makes a result like this hurt more.”

“So that’s kind of how I feel. It’s just one of those things you’ve just got to alimony going.”

“I’d love to be in a variegated position, but I kind of refuse to let it write-up me down.”

Do you think Ricciardo will still be at McLaren next year? Let us know in the comments.
