Daniel Ricciardo while talking about Helmut Marko's comments regarding Liam Lawson definitely driving for a Red Bull team next season said, “I still know that performance is, my best friend.

“And that's if I do what I know I can do and [am] capable of then it puts me in a very good position to obviously stay somewhere in the family for next year. I’ve just got to focus on that.

“Speaking on Liam - got to see him drive the car last year [after Ricciard’s injury at Zandvoort 2023] and I do think he did a great job.

“I do think he is worthy of a seat on the grid. In a way, I'm happy for him.

“Like, if he is guaranteed a seat next year, then I think that's good, because he is a deserving driver.

“So, then what that means for me? As I said, probably a little bit unknown, but if I perform then I'm sure they'll find a spot for me somewhere.”

The rumors of Daniel Ricciardo being removed from his RB seat are going around after the Australian driver has had several disappointing seasons ever since he left Red Bull racing a few years back.
