F1: Lando Norris has secured pole position while Piastri finished second in the final qualifying session of 2024.
Axed F1 star Daniel Ricciardo has been enjoying the retired life but a shock bid could drag the Aussie back behind the wheel.after failing to put adequate pressure on Red Bull’s Sergio Perez , with the team trading the 35-year-old for 22-year-old New Zealander Liam Lawson.
But F1’s loss could be another category’s gain with the Aussie’s marketability and global recognition making him a prime target for the right team.Which makes the latest rumblings out of Toyota all the more intriguing.Toyota Gazoo Racing was announced as a technical partner for the Haas F1 Team as of October and will provide design, technical and manufacturing services.
Believed to potentially be a $10m offer, similar to what he was reportedly earning at VCARB this season, it’s been described as a “blank cheque operation”.Quoting “a former senior Toyota executive, who still has strong ties within the current management team in Tokyo”, the Race.news report said: “I’ve been told that Toyoda-san can see his value, not just as a driver, but as someone who can drag in the fans in huge numbers because of his natural charisma.
As well as driving, it’s believed Ricciardo would also be employed as a worldwide ambassador for the Toyota and the Gazoo Racing brand.While it’s unclear whether an offer has been tabled to Ricciardo or his management team as yet, or whether he’d even be interested in such a move, it continues to show the popularity of the Aussie star.
