Daniel Ricciardo has been consistently trailing behind his teammate Yuki Tsunoda in the 2024 season, leading to speculation about his future. However, recent reports suggest that his contract may be extended.
Horner Supports Ricciardo
According to BBC Sports, Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner wants to keep Ricciardo in the team, indicating that Ricciardo’s place at Red Bull is not in jeopardy. On the other hand, Helmut Marko is pushing for young talent Liam Lawson to replace Ricciardo. Due to Marko losing influence in the team following an “internal war” scandal, this decision rests entirely with Horner.
Will Tsunoda Stay?
Sources from Motorsport.com suggest that Red Bull intends to continue with Yuki Tsunoda, with both parties close to a new agreement. If Horner maintains his stance on Ricciardo and Tsunoda, it is likely that Tsunoda will definitely remain in the team, rather than a Ricciardo-Lawson lineup emerging.
