F1: Ricciardo set to miss out on his Las Vegas dream

Posted by AR1 staff

Daniel Ricciardo looks set to miss out on one of his biggest Formula 1 wishes after admitting he will most likely drop off the grid next season.

The Aussie is due to become a free agent at the end of the year after McLaren decided to cancel his contract a year early. However, getting beat like a drum by teammate Lando Norris week-in and week-out has other team owners believe he is washed up.

Instead of a race seat, he appears set to join Mercedes as a reserve – the role vacated by de Vries as he joins his new team. But unless one of Lewis Hamilton or George Russell is forced to miss a session for whatever reason, he will not be racing next year when his F1 dream becomes a reality.

Ricciardo has long spoken of his desire to see F1 make its way to Las Vegas.
