Last week's news that Daniel Ricciardo will move to Renault came as a surprise to the Formula 1 world - and not least to Red Bull, given that the team was expecting the Australian to put pen to paper and finally commit to staying for 2019.
Instead he's decided to jump ship after a decade in the Red Bull camp and take on a new challenge as Nico Hulkenberg's team-mate.
"By far the toughest decision I've made in my racing career," Ricciardo said in a video message. "But 29 years living on this Earth, it was [also] actually one of the toughest life decisions I've made."
