Daniel Ricciardo said he intends to return to the Formula One grid in 2024 after “hitting pause” for 2023.
The 33-year-old Australian driver, an eight-time race winner, came to a mutual agreement with McLaren in August to leave the team at the end of the 2022 campaign.
Ricciardo confirmed that although he couldn’t secure a seat for next season, his career in F1 is not over.
“Certainly the plan is still to be involved in F1,” he told the Mirror. “It’s kind of like just hitting pause for a little bit, as I see it — and let’s say as far as my F1 career goes the full intention is (to be driving) for ’24.”
Ricciardo enters this Sunday’s United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, in 12th place in the driver standings.
His most recent win came at the Italian Grand Prix in September 2021.
