Daniel Ricciardo has received a fresh Formula 1 offer after being axed midway through the 2024 season.
The Australian star failed to impress Red Bull this season after he was consistently beaten by team-mate Yuki Tsunoda during his time at VCARB, prompting the hierarchy to make a driver swap.
Ricciardo’s F1 fate appeared to be sealed as he entered the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, with talk in the paddock speculating that he would be replaced by Liam Lawson from the United States Grand Prix onwards.
After the race, Ricciardo was indeed fired, replaced by Red Bull reserve and former junior star Lawson.

Alternative racing series have expressed their interest in the 35-year-old, with Australian Supercars Championship chief Shane Howard revealing that he would ‘welcome Ricciardo with open arms’ to the series.
However, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has provided his former driver with a fresh offer following his axe which could allow him to continue with the team.
Speaking at the US GP, Horner warned Ricciardo regarding retirement and once again reiterated that the offer is there for the Australian to take on some sort of role within the Red Bull team, particularly in the US.
