www.planetf1.comHere’s the latest on Daniel Ricciardo based on recent reporting:
- Ricciardo has been active in media appearances and business ventures since stepping back from a full-time F1 race seat. Reports in early 2025 highlighted a new business venture and a refreshed public-facing outlook after stepping away from racing duties. [cite ]
- In 2024 and 2025, coverage noted his transition away from full-time competition, with coverage focusing on his status as a former F1 driver and occasional racing-related appearances rather than a confirmed comeback to the grid. [cite ][cite ]
- Major outlets continued to track him as a prominent figure in the paddock, with occasional features about possible future roles (reserve or development driver) discussed in the context of teams’ development programs, but no definitive return to a full-time race seat as of the latest reports.
