Daniel Ricciardo salary at AlphaTauri and contract details
As of now, the exact salary details for Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri haven’t been confirmed. However, prior to his arrival, Nyck, was earning around $2 million per year. As such, Daniel Ricciardo could also expect a similar salary at AlphaTauri. Although the exact details of his salary are not confirmed, his spot on the first team is finalized.
Before accpedting the new role at AlphaTauri, Daniel Ricciardo was the test driver for Red Bull and reportedly earned around $6 million per year. Daniel was earning $60,000 per day just for helping Red Bull with their promotional events. The new salary at AlphaTauri seems very underwhelming for Ricciardo considering that he received a $15 million contract at McLaren.
Moreover, Haas even offered him a new contract worth $7 million before he chose to join AlphaTauri. In the past as well, Daniel Ricciardo once had a whopping salary worth $27 million with Renault alongside $2 million in endorsements. During that time, he was the 48th highest-paid athlete in the world.
Daniel Ricciardo career
Daniel Ricciardo started out his Formula 1 career in 2011 with Toro Rosso, and eventually joined Red Bull. During his time with Red Bull, Daniel Ricciardo managed to win a couple of races but soon moved on to Renault. However, Renault left the Formula 1 competition, and Ricciardo then joined McLaren. However, he had a tough time at McLaren alongside Lando Norris and he was let go after his contract ended last year.
As such, Ricciardo reached out to Red Bull principal Christian Horner for a chance to become the reserve, test, and third driver for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo spent six months on the role without any Formula 1 action. However, much to his delight, AlphaTauri handed him a new contract that will last until the end of 2023. If Daniel plays his cards right, he could eventually get a contract extension or a new contract with another team.
Daniel Ricciardo net worth
According to various sources, Daniel Ricciardo has an estimated net worth of around $96 million.
