In his five years with the Austrian outfit, the Australian driver has amassed 6 wins and 29 podiums. He has also completed 100 races for the Aston Martin Red Bull team.

After a fairly disappointing 2018 campaign, he had decided to search for fresher pastures, namely Renault. So, he will be partnering Nico Hulkenberg and his vacant Red Bull seat will be taken by Pierre Gasly.

So the burning question will be, will Ricciardo be also to perform well with the French team?
