Overview
- Daniel Ricciardo said "never say never" about racing again during Conor Daly's Speed Street podcast.
- He explained he is happy out of the spotlight and would only consider a comeback for fun rather than to chase championships or prove himself.
- Ricciardo will attend the Indianapolis 500 with Daly through a brand partnership as a spectator, saying he is curious how the event compares with Formula 1.
- After Racing Bulls replaced him with Liam Lawson following the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, he stepped away to rediscover why he loved racing and to rebuild a healthier relationship with it.
- Current reporting shows no active talks about a Formula 1 return, which suggests any future outings would likely be low‑pressure one‑offs in other series.
