But Coulthard, the former Red Bull driver with 13 grand prix wins to his name, insists Ricciardo should turn to working in the F1 media sphere if he is looking for a future away from competing.
Ricciardo was also axed by McLaren in 2022 and, at 35, the Drive to Survive star’s time in F1 looks to have come to an end and he has not confirmed his next steps in motorsport.
Ricciardo’s exit from F1 after last year’s Singapore GP is likely to feature in the new season of Drive to Survive, which is released on 7 March.
David Coulthard believes Daniel Ricciardo should become an F1 pundit should the Australian want to maintain his “celebrity” status within the sport.
Ricciardo was dropped by RB, Red Bull’s sister team, with six races left of last season after a disappointing campaign.
