Ricciardo will leave RB with immediate effect, bringing his second stint in
Formula 1 to an end. He will be replaced by New Zealander
Liam Lawson for the final six races of the season.
ANALYSIS
What has been rumored for a few weeks has finally come to pass. Ricciardo has received his release from Team RB and will depart immediately. That will make way for prospect driver Lawson to take over in the final six events of the 2024 season. The veteran driver sits 14th in the current driver standings and has few prospects for continuing his career in Formula 1.
