Daniel Ricciardo's future with Red Bull remains uncertain as he competes with reserve driver Liam Lawson for the last available seat for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Despite returning to F1 mid-2023, Ricciardo has struggled to perform consistently, currently sitting 13th in the drivers' standings and facing pressure from both internal team dynamics and car development challenges. Ted Kravitz from Sky Sports F1 suggests that an announcement regarding driver placements may be forthcoming, potentially favoring Lawson over Ricciardo. While Ricciardo remains optimistic, insisting his performance will secure his spot, he acknowledges that the competition is fierce, especially with both Yuki Tsunoda and Sergio Perez confirmed for next season. Recent comments from Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko indicate that Lawson is likely to secure a seat, further complicating Ricciardo's position. As the situation develops, it appears Ricciardo's future may hinge on immediate performance improvements.
