United States Grand Prix: New Zealand's Liam Lawson will replace Daniel Ricciardo at Team RB alongside Yuki Tsunoda for the remainder of the season, the Formula 1 team announced on Thursday. Ricciardo will leave RB with immediate effect, bringing his second stint in Formula 1 to an end. The Australian returned to a Formula 1 race seat last year in Hungary with AlphaTauri and stayed on when they became RB for this campaign.

Ricciardo has scored points five times this season, including an impressive fourth place in the Sprint race in Miami, and currently sits 14th in the drivers' standings, trailing teammate Yuki Tsunoda by 10 points.

However, his performances haven't been enough to secure a spot within the Red Bull family. As a result, last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, where he finished 18th with the fastest lap, marked his final race of the season.
