RB Peter Bayer has opened up on Daniel Ricciardo's exit from the team not being made public, claiming it was the Australian's wish to do it that way. The race weekend in Singapore had begun with reports circulating that it was going to be Ricciardo's last race with the Faenza-based team.
Throughout the weekend, both the driver and the team denied an exit, but by the end of it, it became more or less a certainty that the Australian would not be a part of the team after the Singapore GP.
Following Ricciardo's official exit, there was a lot of backlash on social media for RB and Red Bull because of the manner in which they had gone through with the removal of the driver. There were questions raised on why this was done with so much secrecy as many felt he could have been given a much better farewell.
