Daniel Ricciardo is of interest to a racing series in his native Aust✤ralia.

The Supercars Championship - an FIA-governed touring car series based in 💖Aus✱tralia and New Zealand - has taken note of Ricciardo’s availability.

Tꦕhe Fo൲rmula 1 veteran’s next step is unclear after he lost his RB race seat with immediate effect to Liam Lawson.

Ricciardo won’t race again ꦇthis year, and has no F1 contract for next season, m💃eaning his career is likely over.

Supercars chief executive Shane Howard hopes the addition of a Perth streeꦑt circuit🐬 in 2026 could tempt Ricciardo.

“I think everyone would welcome Daniel with open arms, absolutely,” Howard told&nbsꦐp;.

“Would we like to see Daniel Ricciardo in a Superc🧜ar? 100 per༒ cent.

“Just imagine if he could be in one of our 🔴cars and race in a new street race in ꧙Perth, that would be something special wouldn’t it?

“It would be absolutely massive.

“He is💟 such 🌜an incredible driver and such an incredible personality and people just absolutely love him.

“Imagine him racing at Bathu🙈rst, wow. That would be very cool indeed.

“Obviously he has got a lot🐓 going on and we respect that.

“Blake Friend in his manage꧋ment team used to work for us.

“At the right time, we would reach out, b🧸ut we would certainly like to have him in one of our cars, 100 per cent we would.”

𒊎Ricciardo has kept his cꦰards close to his chest regarding his next move.

He has hinted at recent F1 rou🌟nds that the prospect of joining another racing series does not interest🍬 him.

But now he is🧸 faced without a race seat in F1, and without much prospect of returning to the grid in 2025, he will be confronted by the decision of whether to look elsewhere.
