The Australian’s leaving a year before his contract expires in ‘bittersweet’ exit
24 August 2022 - 18:19Daniel Ricciardo will leave McLaren at the end of the 2022 Formula One season by mutual agreement and one year before the Australian’s contract was due to expire, both parties announced on Wednesday.
Ricciardo is expected to be replaced by compatriot Oscar Piastri, reserve driver for Renault-owned Alpine who this month triggered a contract dispute after rejecting an offer to race for them next year. Sharing the news with his 7.3-million followers on Instagram, Ricciardo said the development was “bittersweet, for sure”.
“We had a lot of discussions, but in the end we mutually agreed it was the right thing for both of us.
