Daniel Ricciardo has admitted that he\u2019s found greater peace and balance in his life since retiring from Formula 1 last season.<\/p>\n
The Australian was a popular figure on the F1 grid but has largely faded from view since stepping out of the cockpit midway through the F1 2024 season.<\/p>\n
Daniel Ricciardo makes \u2018peace and balance\u2019 admission in F1 retirement<\/p>\n
The Australian\u2019s racing career came to an abrupt end following last season\u2019s Singapore Grand Prix when he was replaced by Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d been overlooked for a mid-year promotion to the senior Red Bull team as Sergio Perez struck trouble, drawing his place in the squad\u2019s broader programme into question.<\/p>\n
With Lawson waiting in the wings, the decision was made to afford the Kiwi the chance to see out the F1 2024 season after impressing while cameoing for the injured Ricciardo in 2023.<\/p>\n
Ricciardo has since kept a low profile aside from a number of endorsement spots for his motorsport-inspired fashion brand Enchante. He also plugged a gambling platform<\/a> and, more recently, was spotted at a kart track<\/a> supporting his Daniel Ricciardo Series.<\/p>\n The 36-year-old has, however, offered some insight into life beyond F1 courtesy of a brief interview with Men\u2019s Fitness.<\/p>\n \u201cI definitely enjoy my own company more now. I think the meditation has helped, and I feel like I\u2019ve definitely found a little more peace and balance with everything in my life,\u201d Ricciardo said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m able to give more of myself to others around me and show up more.\u201d<\/p>\n More on Daniel Ricciardo from PlanetF1.com:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Lawson spills the beans on Daniel Ricciardo guidance for Canadian GP<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Why Daniel Ricciardo is considered \u2018wrong person\u2019 for Cadillac F1<\/a><\/p>\n
