Daniel Ricciardo crashes out of Q1 in qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix

‘Ricciardo should RETIRE’: More misery for Australian veteran after crashing out of Q1 in qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix – and fans fear the popular driver’s career is ‘finished’

  • Daniel Ricciardo’s misery continued as he qualified in P17 for the Singapore GP 
  • The 33-year-old has been axed by McLaren and is searching for a new team 
  • However, he did not help his chances with a poor showing in Singapore
  • Team-mate Lando Norris scraped through but has had an upgrade 

Daniel Ricciardo arrived in Singapore desperate for a much-needed shot in the arm amid a torrid 2022 campaign, but his misery continued as he crashed out of Q1 on Saturday. 

McLaren axed Ricciardo last month amid a poor campaign for the Australian, who will make way for Oscar Piastri at the end of the season.

With only Alpine, Haas and Williams offering places on the grid for 2023 season, Ricciardo could do with a strong finish to help prove he is still capable of providing results. 

However, his cause was not helped at Marina Bay Street Circuit on Saturday, where he crashed out of Q1 with a miserable P17 finish, while his teammate Lando Norris reached Q3, although he was the beneficiary of an upgrade.

And concerned fans fear that Ricciardo’s time at the elite level may be over after another disappointing showing.
