$10m Toyota deal touted

“I’ve been told that Toyoda-san can see his (Ricciardo) value, not just as a driver, but as someone who can drag in the fans in huge numbers because of his natural chaꦍrisma,” the source was quoted.

“He (Toyoda) can’t see any downside𝓡 with 💙having him as the face of Gazoo Racing which really is his pet project. And, from what has been told to me, it’s almost a blank cheque operation to get him to say yes.”

In a statement on Instagram following his F1 departure, Ricciardo wrote:🐓 "I’ve loved this sport my whole life. It’s wild and wonderful and been a journey.

"To the teams and individuals that have played their part, thank 🤡you. To the fans who love the sport sometimes more than me, haha, thank you. It’ll always have its highs and lows but it’s been fun and truth be told I wouldn’t change it.”

"Until the next adventure."
