Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo has made it clear that he is in no rush to sign a new contract any time soon. The Australian racer, who currently drives for the McLaren team, recently spoke about his future plans in an interview with the press.

“I don’t feel like I need to sign anything soon,” Ricciardo said. “I’m happy with where I am right now and I’m enjoying my time at McLaren. I want to focus on the present and give my best for the team this season.”

Ricciardo joined McLaren at the beginning of the 2021 season after leaving his previous team, Renault. Since joining McLaren, he has been able to secure some impressive results, including a podium finish at the Italian Grand Prix.

Despite his success on the track, Ricciardo remains focused on the task at hand and is not letting talks of a new contract distract him. “I have a good relationship with the team and I feel supported here,” he said. “But for now, I just want to focus on racing and giving my all for McLaren.”

Ricciardo’s approach to his contract situation is a stark contrast to some other drivers in the sport who are constantly negotiating new deals. He is known for his laid-back and easy-going personality, and it seems that this attitude extends to his approach to contract negotiations as well.

Many fans and experts speculate that Ricciardo will likely stay on with McLaren for the foreseeable future, given the positive relationship he has with the team. However, the Australian driver remains coy about his plans and is content to let things play out naturally.

“I’m not in a rush to sign anything,” Ricciardo reiterated. “I’m just focused on performing well on the track and helping McLaren achieve its goals. The future will take care of itself.”

As the F1 season progresses, all eyes will be on Daniel Ricciardo and his performance on the track. Whether or not he signs a new contract in the coming months remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – Ricciardo is fully committed to giving his best for McLaren and enjoying the ride along the way.
