It’s been an entire week since Daniel Ricciardo confirmed his McLaren departure through mutual consent. The Woking team might have informed the Australian of their decision at the start of summer break. However, the official news came right towards the end of the break.
Ricciardo deemed it necessary to break the news to his fans himself through his social media handles. Since then, there has been a lot of speculation, but no official update has emerged regarding Ricciardo’s situation.

In fact, there have been no new updates regarding the imminent driver shuffle. There is no news regarding Oscar Piastri, Ricciardo, or the vacant Alpine and McLaren seats.
The American multifunctional company Amazon has interviewed to break the slump. Amazon has put in an audacious two-worded offer for the Australian via their Twitter account. The hilarious proposition that states, “let’s talk,” is yet to get a reply from the Australian.
The Honey Badger plans to spend the coming season and many more in Formula 1. In a scenario where he joins Amazon, he will be a great addition to the team because the company promises lightning-fast deliveries. There are hardly many people faster than a Formula 1 driver behind a car and Ricciardo is among the best, despite his recent form.

However, before we make speculations, let’s see the American company getting acquainted with the fans.
