Ricciardo: This isn’t it for me

Daniel Ricciardo was pushed out of McLaren early to make way for Oscar Piastri. He won at Monza last year. Ricriado is unemployed for next year in F1. He is still passionate about the sport. The Aussie is grateful for all his fans' support. His last win for McLaren was at the 2012 Italian Grand Prix. It was the first for the team since Jenson Button won in Brazil in 2012.

Ricciardo is considering a return to Alpine. He will continue to drive for McLaren for the rest of this year. He has many happy memories of his time at McLaren. Ricciardo will drive with OCO-RIC in 2020. The team's Plan-A of Piastri and Ocon next year has gone south. It's better than having a rookie in the team next season. There is no deal yet. Daniel will keep driving for this season and the future.

Piastri on thick skin, strengths and being coveted by McLaren

Of all the things McLaren's Formula 1 debutant Oscar Piastri hoped to learn during his enforced racing sabbatical last year, developing a thicker skin probably wasn't one of them.
