Red Bull F1 2025 hopeful Daniel Ricciardo has revealed that he is increasingly motivated by inspiring the next generation of drivers as he enters the twilight of his F1 career. It comes amid mounting rumours that the veteran Australian could be replaced by New Zealand starlet Liam Lawson at junior team VCARB for next season – and potentially before the end of the current campaign.

The speculation suggests that Liam Lawson could take over from Ricciardo at Faenza based RB, starting with the Singapore Grand Prix. After the Azerbaijan GP, Dutch journalist Rick Winkelman claimed that the move is already in motion according to his sources.

Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo is facing the prospect of competing in his last race for 2024 as rumours mount about his future in the sport.

Red Bull-owned F1 team RB has swiftly responded to rumours suggesting that Daniel Ricciardo might not be competing in Singapore this weekend. Multiple sources had reported earlier in the week that reserve driver Liam Lawson's contract contains a clause guaranteeing him several races this year.
