Overview
- In an interview on Conor Daly’s Speed Street podcast, Ricciardo said he would not rule out racing again and used the phrase “never say never.”
- He will attend the Indianapolis 500 with Daly through a brand partnership and said he wants to see how the event’s pace and demands compare with Formula 1.
- He stressed that any comeback would be for enjoyment, not to chase championships or trophies, which he said can drain the fun from racing.
- He said time away from the F1 “bubble” and visits to other races have helped rebuild a healthier relationship with the sport.
- He left F1 in 2024 after the Singapore Grand Prix when RB replaced him with Liam Lawson, and he has since focused on personal projects and a Ford brand ambassador role while making no concrete return plans.
