Ricciardo explains why he has stayed away from the F1 paddock

Daniel Ricciardo has spoken about his reasons for largely keeping away from the Formula 1 paddock since leaving the sport. His F1 career ended after the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, when he was replaced at RB by Liam Lawson following a difficult season.

In the two years since, the Australian has stayed out of the limelight, spending more time at home and less time travelling. The available text does not go into further detail on his reasons.
