Ricciardo mentioned he was holding out making his decision. Although I think Ferrari would be a great place for him (especially with his Italian name) ... I'm not sure Seb would welcome him as a teammate again. Regardless of him being a very talented driver, I'm not sure he'd be a good fit for Merc. But the writing is already on the wall .... Red Bull is Max's team going forward, with that, not sure it's the best spot for Ricciardo at the end of this contract.

Bet Redbull had to pay Max a ton of money to stay, plus I’d imagine Lewis told Toto he didn’t want him at Mercedes?
