The McLaren team has already officially notified Daniel Riccardo of their desire to end their partnership with him in 2023.
According to Motorsport, McLaren is looking to sort out all the legal issues to confirm the signing of Oscar Piastri.
At the same time, Ricciardo’s contract with McLaren implies an extension option for the 2023 season, which can be used by the racer.
In this regard, it is reported that at the moment “McLaren” signed a contract with Piastri on the position of the reserve pilot with the possibility of upgrading to the status of the prize-winning driver.
Now McLaren and Ricciardo are negotiating about the termination of the contract – the proposal implies that Ricciardo will receive a substantial sum in the case if going towards McLaren and does not activate the option.
At the same time, Ricciardo is not interested in moving to another racing series and is determined to continue his career in Formula One. It is reported that after the failure of the deal with Piastri the candidacy of Ricciardo may be interested in “Alpin”. Do not exclude the possibility of a transition to Haas.
