Despite not holding a permanent position in the Formula 1 championship, Daniel Ricciardo is expected to make the most money of his career in 2023, know his Red Bull salary, current team role and net worth
Ricciardo is set to earn his biggest yearly income to date.
Despite not competing, Ricciardo will earn his highest career salary in 2023. Ricciardo was replaced by rookie Oscar Piastri by the Woking-based team after two unsuccessful seasons with McLaren. In order to return to the grid in 2024, Ricciardo joined Red Bull again as a third driver for the 2023 season.
Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull role, salary, current team, contract details and net worth in 2023
The Aussie will participate in marketing initiatives for Red Bull and assist in the development of the team’s RB19 car as it prepares to defend its championships in 2019. He will receive €2 million (£1.7 million or $2.1 million) for his work with the Red Bull team, according to sportune.fr.
Nonetheless, McLaren will pay him the lion’s share of his salary. As McLaren decided to shorten Ricciardo’s contract, which originally lasted three years with the team, he is entitled to compensation. This will be worth €21 million (£18 million or $22.2 million), and when added to his Red Bull earnings, it will be his biggest yearly income to date. His current net worth is at $50 million.
According to his contract with McLaren, Ricciardo was also promised a wage raise in 2023. But the present scenario is expected to cost less for McLaren because it cost less to pay the original contract than to buy out Ricciardo’s one for 2023 and sign Piastri. Lando Norris, who will be entering his fifth Formula One season with the Woking-based team, will be joined by Piastri in the team in 2019.
Daniel Ricciardo can take inspiration from Fernando Alonso.
Natalie Pinkham, an F1 broadcaster, recently discussed how Daniel Ricciardo could take inspiration from Fernando Alonso after seeing the veteran win races and finish on podiums. Although the Spaniard is the oldest driver on the starting lineup, he has displayed great track prowess. In the first two races of the 2023 Formula One season, he has already claimed two podium finishes.
Because of this, Daniel Ricciardo and other drivers can be fascinated by and motivated by Alonso’s success to return to the sport and compete at their best, according to Natalie Pinkham. According to the broadcaster, Alonso’s decision to join Aston Martin was one of his wisest moves.
