Relatively recent news that a new team will join the permanent Formula 1 World Championship line-up in 2026. Its potential member could be Daniel Ricciardo…
The German magazine Bild reported very specific information that the team, which started as an Andretti project and has now become Cadillac, will mobilize serious forces to acquire Daniel Ricciardo, who was rejected after the Singapore race. The Germans believe that the Australian driver is the best option for the team starting, especially in terms of PR value. According to their reports, if the Americans choose Ricciardo, their not-yet-existent popularity index will jump from 0 to 100. They believe that it would be very important for the new team to start with an experienced driver, which may also be possible in the case of the chosen one. What will be Daniel Ricciardo's response to all this is still unknown, currently he enjoys the freedom that has fallen around his neck, but he also has other options if he wants to continue his racing career. Toyota is tempting him with a salary of $ 10 million to compete on two fronts, in NASCAR and Australian Supercars, thus increasing the popularity of the Japanese brand.
Who knows how this will play out, but we think Danny Ric still has one more unresolved issue in F1…
