Daniel Ricciardo has confirmed that the legal 🍌claim from his former manager has been settled.

Ricciardo’s forme𓆉r manager, Glenn Beavis, filed a £10 million claim against the Australian driver in July over unpaid fees from his contract follow🍒ing his move from Red Bull to Renault. Beavis represented Ricciardo from 2012 until the start of 2019.

Speaking on Thursday in Japan, Ricciardo confirmed that the legal case with B🎃eavis had now been settled, saying it had come to a better resolution than initially expected.

“It’s all sorted and settled. I can’t go into details𓄧, but we both met and it’s been done, put to bed, and no🀅t in a bad way or anything like that,” Ricciardo said.

“It actually ended a lot sweeter than it probably looked a few months ago. I think up until now it didn’t really weigh on me, but obviously if it continued and it goes another year, two years down the track — I don’t ꧂know how long these things can go — then for sure it would’ve eventually.

“It’s just been something which I didn’t ܫneed. Especially there’s so much now with the team — not only with me, but with the team — that I want to still improve and get right, and I think I just need everything focused on this.

“Even if sometimes you think something’s not distracting you, it could be, so I was haꦛppy to put it behind. It’s not something I guess we wanted. It’s not comfortaꩲble.”

Ricciardo isꩵ now represented by CAA Sports, having linked up with the agency in March.
