F1 farewells Daniel Ricciardo!

Daniel Ricciardo left the paddock for what could be his last time as F1 driver. It was an emotional night for many after the 2024 Singapore GP as everyone was saying goodbye to Daniel Ricciardo. It has not been officially announced whether Daniel Ricciardo is leaving F1 or If Daniel Ricciardo is being replaced by Liam Lawson but after what I witnessed last night I have little doubt that this was Daniel Ricciardo's last F1 race with the team. He did not leave the sport quietly though, Daniel Ricciardo's fastest lap and Daniel Ricciardo's driver of the day in Singapore will be remembered for some time. It is a sad day for the sport and the fans. Thank you for everything Daniel.

At least one guy had the decency to give Daniel some sort of tribute and send off. So thanks for that, Kym. We'll miss his smile for sure.

This photography dude does better journalism than all of the media outlets.

[MathewBT]

That last photo of him walking out...he looks at peace with his accomplishments, just beautiful really 🙏🏆🌇

It's nice to know SOMEBODY was there to document Daniel's [potential bc not confirmed STILL] last moments in F1 in such a beautiful way. I think it's crazy fans had no way to really say goodbye other than a driver of the day vote. I also think this non send off by the team puts Liam in a super awkward position for people to hate on him for nothing he has done.

Not to officially tell him what's happening is disgusting. Making no formal announcement is disgusting. This is why Danny Ric left Redbull in the first place. Regardless of what you think of Danny Ric, he deserved a proper farewell.

This is the epitome of Helmut Marko's disrespect & disregard both for Red Bull contracted driers & fans of the sport...Marko cares for neither, this isn't how you treat a respected driver & also keeping the supporters & fans of the driver & sport in the dark over Daniel's future....The sooner Marko is gone from the sport the better.

I have to be honest if it weren't for Daniel I probably would never have got into F1, his energy and humour kept bringing me back, over the last decade he has been by far the most down to earth driver on the grid, farewell danni hope to see you in other series in the future.

[karanchoubey]

I got into watching F1 because I really liked Daniel in the first season of drive to survive, really hope that he stays well & happy during his retirement.

Wonderfully documented Kym, a real shame that this was his exit, but glad you were there to capture it for us!

[rhyansanpedro]

This is by far one of the best send off's I've watched, NGL this hit me in the feels on how you described his last moments in the paddock.

[alanngli]

This is sad. Please let Daniel know the next time you see him, that he might have walked out the Singapore track alone, but millions more fans are with him in spirit.

[skFriberg]

That last picture of him walking out... Oh my god. Goosebumps. It will be one of your most famous photos, Kym. Amazing. So much story behind it.

[VisionCarrierDreamCatcher]

That is such a wonderful and wonderfully narrated story. That is what a tribute truly looks like, told with the veneer removed. Well done sir.

[gas-bocor]

Thank you, Daniel for gracing F1 for 13 years with your smile. Best of luck to your future endeavors

[snipd]

So glad you are able to support Daniel and be a friend in the paddock not "just a journo/paparazzi"

Can't believe this is Daniel's send off from F1.. just completely robbed for someone who's done so much of the sport...

[hbbarreiros]

Thank you for your insight on F1. Been stuck for years listening to the same thing over and over again from everyone. Glad that someone like you takes a different approach to F1 news.
Daniel you will be missed!

[MichaelMetalox-jolc]

It’s so sad seeing Danni Ric leave F1 😢😢 I gonna miss him.

[JustMeandMyTea]

I was at Silverstone in 2011 for Daniels first ever race. Im not ready for one last fastest lap to be the end.
Thank you Kym for a wonderfully touching piece and i feel that hug you gave was from ALL of us.

[mrhypobaric]

Very sad way to exit for the decade's most loved F1 personality.

[LumkoNgubo]

Thank you for capturing this Kym ❤ Daniel deserves so much more for his 10+ years on the F1
