Red Bull Team Principal, Christian Horner, bid farewell to Daniel Ricciardo on Thursday, as the Australian is set to be replaced by Liam Lawson. This marks the end of the ‘Honey Badger’s’ career after more than thirteen years. Horner, who worked with Ricciardo for many years, thanked him in an emotional social media post.

“From the moment you joined Red Bull, it was clear that you were so much more than just a driver,” wrote Christian Horner on his Instagram page. “Your inexhaustible enthusiasm, sense of humor, and positive attitude have left an indelible impression on the team and in Formula 1. Thank you for the victories, the smiles, the music (and I wish I could add the ‘shoey’s’ to that).”

What Daniel Ricciardo will do in the future remains unclear. There seems to be no place left for the 35-year-old driver in Formula 1. However, Horner emphasized that Ricciardo will always remain a part of Red Bull. “You will always remain a special member of this family,” he continued. “8 wins, 32 podiums, and 1329 points. These statistics and awards are not the only measure of who you are and what you have achieved. Thank you, Daniel.”
