Daniel Ricciardo's former boss at RB, Laurent Mekies, talked about feeling regretful about how the team handled the Australian driver's exit. Ricciardo executed his last race with the team in Singapore, but the news of his exit was made official on 26 September by Red Bull.
That being said, media reports about Ricciardo not being retained beyond Singapore were already floating before the weekend began. When the driver was first confronted by the media on Thursday of the race weekend, he had a firm response and portrayed a confident front. However, as the weekend progressed, the veneer started to break.
By the end of the weekend, after the race, there were moments where Daniel Ricciardo got emotional during the interviews in what was perceived as an implicit acknowledgment of it being the end of the road for him.
