Daniel Ricciardo holds out on 2019 Red Bull contract past Hungarian GP deadline


Recommended Posts

DANIEL Ricciardo’s contract saga has continued into F1’s summer break, despite the hiatus long being considered as Red Bull’s unofficial deadline for the Australian to sign.

The 29-year-old, who is off-contract at the end of the season, surprised fans by remaining coy on his future with Red Bull after completing the Hungarian Grand Prix on Monday morning.

Many expected Ricciardo to announce he had resigned after the race, but instead he said he “honestly doesn’t know” when there will be an update on his contract.

“I test Tuesday actually, then I’ll escape Wednesday and head far away from race cars for a few weeks,” Ricciardo told Sky Sports’ Paul di Resta on Monday morning.

When asked about when to expect an update, Ricciardo said: “Soon! I honestly still don’t know, but probably over the break.

“When everybody’s looking for something to talk about, maybe it’ll happen then.”

Team boss Christian Horner earlier this year said the team “doesn’t want to wait forever” for Ricciardo’s signature, and expected him to resign by Sunday.

“There should be a decision by the summer break at the latest,” Horner told German magazine Auto Motor Und Sport in April.

Nonetheless, Ricciardo still looks almost certain to remain with Red Bull next year after Mercedes resigned Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas to F1’s most desired seats.

The only other rumoured alternative, Ferrari, is yet to confirm Kimi Raikkonen as Sebastian Vettel’s teammate in 2019.

However, talented youngster Charles Leclerc - who belongs to Ferrari’s driver academy - is considered most likely to take the seat, should Raikkonen not be retained.

That leaves Ricciardo with few options but to stay with Red Bull, who signed him to its junior team in 2008, before promoting him to its top seat in 2014 via a two-year stint at Toro Rosso.

Ricciardo has left Red Bull bosses sweating over his signature heading into the summer break after once again showing why he’s one of the field’s most talented drivers during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Perthian dropped as low as 16th on the first lap of the race after Sauber’s Marcus Ericsson clattered into his car’s left-hand side heading into the first corner.

But he persistently fought his way back through the field with a series of perfectly-executed manoeuvres that saw him regain 12 places, and finish fourth.

Ricciardo remains fifth in the driver standings, 13 points ahead of his teammate Dutch Max Verstappen, who suffered a power unit failure and retired from the race on lap six.
