F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo to be replaced by Oscar Piastri. Find out why

Daniel Ricciardo is an F1 driver from Australia who races for McLaren but would now be replaced as the last F1 team to hire him. Oscar Piastri, a 21-year-old Australian driver, will take his place.

At the moment, Daniel Ricciardo is without an F1 seat to start the new season and his team of negotiators is still in talks. The F1 circuit is quite strict about the rule that if a driver leaves the circuit for another discipline, they can get an opportunity in F1 again. Ricciardo believes that he doesn’t want to leave F1 and will try out the options before settling even for a reserve driver position.

Even if he is offered a role in another circuit, such as Nascar or Indycar, he does not want to leave the circuit. On the whole, the options in front of Ricciardo are Alpha Tauri, Alpine, Haas and Williams, but time seems to be running out, and a decision should hopefully be made in his favour. He feels those are the only two options he has: joining as a reserve or getting an F1 call from the four others who are left.




The talented driver has not won a single championship, but he has a few Grand Prix under his belt. He has won the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix and the 2021 Italian Grand Prix.
