Highlights
- Daniel Ricciardo considered for Red Bull one-off race seat.
- Max Verstappen may face a race suspension soon.
- Ricciardo holds eight Grand Prix wins in his career.
- Nearly 70% of fans support Ricciardo’s F1 comeback.
- Ricciardo linked to potential lead driver role for Cadillac 2026.
- Competition includes Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez for top seats.
Nearly 70% of respondents believe he deserves another chance in Formula 1. This high level of backing demonstrates that his absence has not diminished his appeal or the trust fans have in his talent.
The results also mirror the respect he commands in the paddock, with many seeing him as an asset for any team looking for proven skill and leadership. Ricciardo’s future is not limited to just a temporary role.
Ricciardo’s extensive experience could make him an ideal leader for a squad seeking to build a competitive foundation from the start.
With Cadillac planning to join the F1 grid in 2026, his name has also been suggested as a potential lead driver for the new American team.
However, he faces competition from other experienced drivers such as Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, who are also being considered for top seats. The Racing Bulls organization could also benefit from Ricciardo’s return, allowing younger prospects like Isack Hadjar more time to develop.
If Ricciardo fills a short-term role, it provides a smoother transition for new talents stepping into a high-pressure environment.
This gives teams more flexibility in shaping their long-term driver line-ups. Meanwhile, the F1 community is focused on upcoming races and ongoing storylines.
The Austrian Grand Prix is around the corner, with fresh debates about Verstappen’s situation and Lando Norris’s recent performance after Canada. Other headlines include Sebastian Vettel confirming talks with Red Bull, and questions about whether Lewis Hamilton can avoid matching an unwanted record at the Austrian GP.
Ricciardo’s support remains strong, and possible opportunities continue to emerge as teams prepare for the next phases of the F1 season.
Whether he returns as a substitute or takes on a leading role for a new team, many fans and insiders hope to see him back on the track soon.
