Daniel Ricciardo: 2021 driver lineup will be "musical chairs"
F1 News
Daniel Ricciardo believes that the 2021 grid will look very different to how the drivers will lineup in 2020. The Renault driver comes out of contract at the end of the 2020 season and it seems like unless the team suddenly improves, he will be out to find a faster car.
"I haven't committed any more than the end of next year," Ricciardo told the Sunday Times in Australia. "I haven't and that's not anything personal, it's just we haven't had any discussion about beyond 2020 yet. It's still early days.
"I would love for 2020 to work out and I stay, that's the easiest and happiest scenario, I wish for that."
Many drivers will be out of contract at the end of 2020 and Ricciardo thinks that there will be a lot of change as Formula 1 enters 2021.
"As far as 2021 goes, musical chairs, so to speak, I think F1 could get a real shakeup," he said.
With the rule changes coming into place it will be interesting to see how much the grid changes and if we see some new teams competing at the top of the grid.
