Daniel Ricciardo had high hopes of rejoining Red Bull in 2025, but those dreams were shattered when Sergio Perez's contract was renewed. Despite this setback, the Australian driver remains optimistic that he will one day return to the team, even though his own contract with Red Bull's sister-team RB is set to expire at the end of the season. However, with little interest from other teams, Ricciardo faces the possibility of dropping off the grid again.
Perez's contract extension came as no surprise to Ricciardo, who admitted that his own performance this season has not been up to par. He did have a standout moment in Miami, but overall, he has been inconsistent, especially compared to his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. The Red Bull junior driver Liam Lawson is also waiting in the wings for his chance, adding to the competition for a coveted spot on the team.
Despite this, Ricciardo remains focused on giving his all in the current season, knowing that his performance will ultimately determine his future. He acknowledges that he has not been performing at his best, but he is happy to be back in the Red Bull family and is determined to keep pushing forward. He also believes that Perez's contract renewal does not mean that his own return to Red Bull is completely off the table.
Meanwhile, Tsunoda, who has been one of the top performers in 2024, has also been in talks about a potential move to another team. However, he remains loyal to Red Bull and hopes to continue with them if they want him. Both Ricciardo and Tsunoda will have to wait and see what the future holds for them, but for now, they are focused on giving their best on the track.
