"Ricciardo expressed, "This sport has been my passion for as long as I can remember."

"It's been a crazy, fantastic adventure."

"A heartfelt thanks to both the groups and individuals who have contributed."

To the enthusiasts whose passion for the game occasionally surpasses even my own, haha, my gratitude goes out to you.

"Sure, it's had its ups and downs, but overall, it's been enjoyable and honestly, I wouldn't alter a thing."

"Until we meet again on another journey."

Ricciardo competed for teams including HRT, Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Renault, McLaren, and RB.

Two years prior, he was ousted from his Formula 1 spot after McLaren opted to bring in Oscar Piastri as his replacement.

However, a notable resurgence with AlphaTauri midway through last season proved to be remarkable, securing his position over Lawson for a permanent racing spot this year.

The news that Ricciardo had been dreading was finally confirmed during last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.

He departs Formula 1 following 257 race appearances, securing three pole positions and achieving eight victories.

Lawson is set to make his debut with RB, partnering with Yuki Tsunoda, during the United States Grand Prix.
