While Daniel may have accepted and felt some kind of relief the decision was made for him, he clearly explains he came to that conclusion after a while. That doesn't mean he deserved the fucked up night of Singapore or the way things were done. Don't thank RedBull for anything.
IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW WHERE RICCIARDO HAS TALKED ABOUT HIS EXIT FROM F1 AND DECISION TO RETIRE. HE'S STILL IMMENSELY POPULAR AND HIS NAME GENERATES CLICKS. ALSO F1 ARE ON A MONTH LONG BREAK AND NEED CONTENT. HOPE THAT HELPS.
