Renault remains confident in extending Daniel Ricciardo

Recently asked about his future, Daniel Ricciardo did not avoid any avenue, including that of a possible return to Red Bull Racing. The Australian driver whose current contract with Renault F1 Team comes to an end at the end of the season, will undoubtedly be one of the cornerstones of the next transfer market.

A situation in which Renault intends to have a say, despite the remodeled face of the campaign, in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s an unusual season to some extent, remember Cyril Abiteboul, director of Renault Sport Racing on the F1 site. This has postponed a number of things, but that being said, we need to continue to plan for the future.

This is one of the things that is going to happen with Daniel and the others. […] We think this is a trip that has a lot more to offer than what it offered last year. We all know that the last year has been a bit of a mixed bag on many levels.

We believe we can do better, so there is clearly a shared feeling that we should do more. Whether this leads to a contract extension, time will tell. There is certainly a shared appetite, if my understanding is correct »

Renault also has under contract until 2021 Esteban Ocon, the French manufacturer having found the Frenchman after his time with Mercedes.
