Former F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo shared new hints about his future in motorsports on social media.

The Australian completed his final weekend in Formula 1 at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.

After a spell with McLaren, Ricciardo returned to the competition midway through the 2023 campaign with Racing Bulls (at the time called AlphaTauri), but was replaced by Liam Lawson the following season.

The eight-time Grand Prix winner has since admitted that he has closed the chapter on driving in the series.

Ricciardo shares new hint on social media

The Australian has now posted new images on his social media, standing alongside Ford Raptor car, that also has a 'Ford Racing' plate.

In his caption, he wrote: "More around the corner..."

Earlier today, Ford announced rebranding of their racing division from 'Ford Performance' to the aforementioned name.

"Make no mistake: We are competing at the highest levels across the globe—from Formula 1 to the World Rally Championship, from Le Mans to Bathurst," Will Ford wrote.

"Starting today, you will see our new identity roll out. The full force of Ford Racing will be unleashed in January when we kick off the new season at the Dakar Rally, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and our own Season Launch event."

The letter also mentions the car Ricciardo posed with: "Under one global Ford Racing banner, our engineers and designers will develop our performance road cars right alongside our race cars. The technology that survives the Baja 1000 will be in the DNA of the next F-150 Raptor. The aerodynamic lessons we learn at Daytona and Le Mans will be sculpted into the body of the next Mustang."
