Daniel Ricciardo says that he is expecting the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend to be emotional for him, as he will drive with Red Bull for the last time. The Australian will leave the energy drink squad at the end of the year, joining Nico Hulkenberg at Renault.
Ricciardo’s relationship with Red Bull stretches back to 2008, when he joined its junior programme. After spending two years at junior team Toro Rosso, Ricciardo joined Red Bull in 2014 and has gone to 29 podiums, including seven wins.
2018 has been a difficult campaign for the Perth born racer, retiring from eight Grands Prix.
