The Honey Badger says he would be 'very, very surprised' to watch from the sidelines without wishing he was out there... F1
Daniel Ricciardo admitted that seeing Formula 1 go on without him next year and whether or not he is itching to get back out there will be a key factor in whether or not he chases a full-time drive in 2024.
Ricciardo had offers to stay on the grid next season, but without a drive available with a realistic chance of competing at the sharp end of the field, he opted to take a year on the sidelines to add a bit more “balance” to his life, and take away an “edge” that has been a constant since his arrival in Formula 1 in 2011.to maintain a paddock presence in Formula 1, mostly combining marketing activity with simulator work back at the team’s Milton Keynes base.
With that, if the sight of Formula 1 cars driving without him being behind the wheel of one of them is enough to make him “foam” to want to get among it again, he will know he will want to pursue a full-time seat again for 2024. “Everything was a competition to me, and that’s where there’s an element of me which is really excited to remove an element of competition in my life next year and just kind of be a little more balanced and not going through the highs, the lows and all of that.
