Daniel Ricciardo’s racing days are over. Indeed, the 36-year-old former Red Bull driver made his farewell to racing official in an Instagram post in which he also announced the start of his new life.
“Although my racing days are behind me my love for anything with wheels will always remain strong, which is why I am proud to partner with Ford as a Global Ford Racing Ambassador”.
“I will be working closely with the team and focusing particularly on the fantastic Raptor brand and the lifestyle that Raptor represents to many customers. But why now and why me? When I decided it was time to retire, I thought long and hard about how to stay connected to motorsport in the most authentic way possible. For me, racing has always been synonymous with fun. It has made me happy and given me memories that will last a lifetime”.
“I couldn“t be more excited about all the incredible driving experiences that await me with Ford and all the incredible projects that Ford Racing has in the pipeline. From F1 to Dakar, from Le Mans to Bathurst, few companies have been active in this industry for so long. From what I have seen, we have an incredible future ahead of us and I am very proud to join the Ford team”.
