F1 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix preview, Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren, driver market, contract speculation, Mercedes, Red Bull Racing

Daniel Ricciardo is considering a move away from McLaren to Mercedes. Ricriardo has been at McLaren for two years and is not paid for next year. Red Bull Racing and Mercedes are interested in signing him. Mercedes has a shortage of drivers and Ricliardo would be a great asset. Lewis Hamilton is the team's long-term future driver. The seven-time champion says he intends to sign a new multi-year deal. The team is unlikely to have a seat available at the end of next season. Stoffel Vandoorne is taking up reserve duties at Aston Martin and Nyck de Vries racing for AlphaTauri next years.
