It is relatively recent news that, in 2026, the Formula 1 world championship will be enriched with a new team. Daniel Ricciardo could be a recurring member of it…
The German magazine Bild has published very concrete information about the Andretti project, which started as a project and has now turned into a Cadillac team, which will mobilize serious forces to get Daniel Ricciardo, who was eliminated after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Germans believe that the Australian driver is the best option for the established team, at least in terms of PR value. According to them, if the Americans were to choose Ricciardo, it would propel their popularity index, which does not yet exist, from 0 to 100. They believe that it would be very important for the debut team to start with an experienced driver, which could be available in the case of the chosen one. Daniel Ricciardo's response to all this is not yet known; for now, he is enjoying the freedom that has fallen into his arms, but he also has other options if he wants to continue his racing career. Toyota is attracting him with a salary of $10 million to compete on two fronts, in NASCAR and in Australian Supercars, and thus increase the popularity of the Japanese brand.
Who knows how it will play out, but we think Danny Ric still has some unfinished business in F1…
