Daniel Ricciardo won't get another chance in F1 - Former driver

According to former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher, Daniel Ricciardo might not get another chance in the sport. With McLaren aiming for a Lando Norris-Oscar Piastri lineup, there is no spot available for the Australian in the team.

In that case, Alpine could be a probable destination, but according to Schumacher, there are better options than the Australian. He pointed out names like Mick Schumacher and Nico Hulkenberg as possible candidates, saying:

"The names are there, with every cockpit. Mick (Schumacher) hasn’t signed a contract yet either. So he would be a candidate. A candidate with speed, as you can see. Nico Hülkenberg is also still in the starting blocks. And then there's the question of Daniel Ricciardo. Personally, I can't imagine that he'll get another chance in Formula 1. But I wouldn't know who Alpine should take at the moment."

The future of Ricciardo is going to be a hot topic in the second half of the season.
