Overview
- Ricciardo confirmed on Conor Daly’s Speed Street podcast that he will attend the Indianapolis 500 as a spectator later this month.
- The trip stems from a collaboration with Daly that will promote his brand, with his new wine advertised during the race.
- He said oval racing at Indy “scares” him and called it “freaking awesome,” stressing deep respect for IndyCar drivers and the discipline.
- He explained that stepping back after leaving F1 in 2024 and attending races as a fan has restored his excitement for motorsport.
- He remains a Ford Racing ambassador focused on non‑F1 programs and said any future driving would be for fun rather than chasing titles.
