Yes, he said it now, but the driver market has been rolling since Hamilton made his move to Ferrari. Ricciardo was recently asked if he had other options, and Ric said no or didn't know, which indicates he hasn't had any negotiations with other teams. This leaves him with the all-in option with Toro Rosso, Red Bull or out of the F1.djos wrote:He said he wasn’t looking at other options, seems pretty clear to me.

Asked whether he had other options, Ricciardo stated: “I would say no. I mean, I don’t know. Not to be stubborn or arrogant about it, but I’m not looking anywhere else. “I’ve said it, I really do enjoy being back in the family.

This is an interesting case. I would have thought that there was no way Antonelli would take the Merc seat, but what happens now that Merc has decided not to hire Sainz? If it's not Antonelli, who on earth could it be? Bottas has said no to a one-year contracts. Ocon? No way.CHT wrote:Has Merc decided on their driver line up for 2025? Seems like both Sainz and Toto are waiting for something to happen.
The one and only, Seb Vettel. One year free hit, in what looks like will be a competitive car.Jurgen von Diaz wrote: ↑04 Jul 2024, 11:40This is an interesting case.

Seb is one possibility, but that will have nothing to do with Sainz not signing for another team.DGP123 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2024, 12:30The one and only, Seb Vettel.
