When Daniel Ricciardo takes to the track in Abu Dhabi this weekend it will be his McLaren swansong – and he has admitted it could even be his last ever drive in Formula One. Ericsson raced for F1 team Alfa Romeo Sauber for five years plus a sixth year as reserve driver before making a successful switch to Chip Ganassi Racing. He is also good friends with Ricciardo and Ericsson told SpeedFreaks that his Aussie mate was mesmerised by the ring. ‘I went to Austin for the Formula One there and I was having lunch with him the Sunday before the race,’ Ericsson said.
