Christian Horner joked that Daniel Ricciardo did "something stupid" when he left Red Bull at the end of the 2018 season.
The Aussie first drove for the team for five years, after making the step up from sister outfit Toro Rosso in 2014. But after the emergence of Max Verstappen as a teenager he felt his future lied elsewhere, and so he made the decision to join Renault.
He had some success with the French-backed team but never settled, and announced he had agreed to join McLaren before the Covid-delayed 2020 season had even begun. And after that move – apart from his 2021 Italian Grand Prix victory – Ricciardo's woes only got worse.
