Daniel Ricciardo will leave McLaren at the end of the season after the Formula One team announced they terminated his contract early, bringing an end to speculation over the Australian’s future and paving the way for the highly rated Oscar Piastri to be offered a seat for 2023.
Despite the eight-time grand prix winner Ricciardo declaring only last month that he was committed to seeing out his contract amid questions over his place with the team, McLaren have moved to pay out the final year of the Australian’s contract.
