Daniel Ricciardo has said farewell to a "wild and wonderful" 14-year Formula One journey after the popular Australian driver was sacked by Red Bull Racing.
The eight-time F1 race winner was let go by his RB team on Thursday, an outcome which even the 35-year-old himself had been expecting after his disappointing 2024 campaign.
It means the end of a distinguished road for the former Red Bull and McLaren star, who, over 14 seasons in F1, became one of the most popular and effervescent characters on the circuit, with his infectious smile lighting up the circus.
