Former World Champion Jenson Button believes Daniel Riccardio is "lucky" to have so many options for the 2019 season, but admits he'd like to see the Australian join Ferrari.
Ricciardo is currently out of contract a Red Bull at the end of the season and although the Milton Keynes based team are looking to extend his stay, Ferrari and Mercedes are both eyeing him up as a potential driver.
Button, who has stayed in contact with Ricciardo since the Brit retired in 2016, believes Ricciardo "should follow his heart", saying:
"I'm guessing he has the opportunity of going to Ferrari, a possibility at Mercedes and Red Bull,
"It's a tough one - those are the top three teams!
"No one really gets that opportunity and he's very lucky to find himself in that situation.
"He's got to go with his heart and go with a team that feels right for him with the team atmosphere.
"Personally, I'd like to see him in a Ferrari."
