Daniel Ricciardo makes Renault switch from Red Bull for 2019

Daniel Ricciardo will make the switch from Red Bull to Renault for the 2019 Formula One Season.

The Australian has signed a two-year deal with the French manufacturer, where he will partner Nico Hulkenberg. Ricciardo will leave Red Bull having spent the last five seasons with the team, winning on seven occasions and claiming 29 podium finishes. The 29-year-old has been a member of the Red Bull family since 2009, starting his Formula One career with HRT in 2011 before spending two seasons with Red Bull's sister team Toro Rosso in 2012 and 2013.

"It was probably one of the most difficult decisions to take in my career so far,'' Ricciardo said.
