Daniel Ricciardo will not race for McLaren in 2023 in a move announced by the team today, triggering another edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Scott Mitchell-Malm joins Edd Straw to explain why McLaren decided enough was enough and the difficulties Ricciardo has faced over the past 18 months.

But with Ricciardo keen to race on in F1, we also discuss his options – both the obvious destination of Alpine and a more left-field suggestion for him to continue his F1 career.
