Daniel Ricciardo’s Formula 1 career hangs in the balance following a lacklustre performance at the Miami Grand Prix, casting doubt over his much-anticipated return to Red Bull.
The Australian driver, once considered a top contender in the sport, has struggled to regain his form since rejoining the Red Bull family as a reserve driver. His recent outing in Miami did little to silence critics, with Ricciardo finishing outside the points in a race that was meant to showcase his potential.
Red Bull’s Patience Wearing Thin?
Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team principal, has previously expressed confidence in Ricciardo’s abilities, but the latest results have left many wondering if the team’s patience is running out. Horner had hinted at a possible promotion for Ricciardo, but his underwhelming performances may have derailed those plans.
What’s Next for Ricciardo?
With the F1 season in full swing, Ricciardo faces an uphill battle to prove he still belongs in the sport. The pressure is mounting, and time is running out for the 34-year-old to secure a competitive seat for the 2025 season.
Fans and analysts alike are left questioning whether Ricciardo can rediscover the form that once made him one of the most exciting drivers on the grid—or if his F1 career is nearing its end.
