Daniel Ricciardo knows there’s the possibility that these two final Formula One races on the 2022 calendar could be his final ones of his career if his gamble of waiting for a ‘24 seat doesn’t pan out.
The Australian driver’s McLaren contract ended a year early after the Woking-based team brought on Oscar Piastri as his replacement. And although the 2023 grid has not been completely confirmed with Haas having one seat open, Ricciardo is interested in a reserve driver role for next season. He has not signed a deal yet, but both Mercedes and Red Bull are rumored to be options.
