“Talking to Red Bull is easier, because I know them already, the other two I guess if they’re interested they’ll need to make the approach,” said Ricciardo.

There were rumours he could make a decision before the start of next season, but has said he is more likely to wait until he had seen how everyone was performing in the opening races of next year.

“I think right now it’s not about the offer, it’s about who’s going to have the best car in 2019 I guess,” he said. “It’s worth me just seeing how the start of the year goes.

“I don’t want to be too clever and think I’ll have every option possible but I think I’ve got enough time on my side to still sit it out a little bit.”
