00:00Daniel Ricciardo's Formula One exit has been confirmed after it was announced he will be

00:03replaced at RB for the remainder of the season.

00:06Ricciardo, an eight-time race winner, will make way for Liam Lawson at the next Grand

00:11Prix in Texas on the 20th of October, effectively bringing the curtain down on a career that

00:15spanned 257 races.

00:18Here we take a look at the highs and lows of the Australian's F1 career.

00:22Maiden victory during debut season at Red Bull Ricciardo thrived after he moved to reigning

00:26World Champions Red Bull for the 2014 season, alongside Sebastian Vettel.

00:31He quickly asserted himself as the faster driver, and the impressive start culminated

00:35with his first Grand Prix victory at the seventh round in Montreal.

00:40He passed Nico Rosberg for the lead with two laps remaining, and the eventual victory was

00:44the first of three in 2014, which resulted in a new long-term contract while teammate

00:49Vettel departed for Ferrari.

00:52Ricciardo debuts his famous showy celebration by 2016.

00:56Ricciardo had fully established himself as one of F1's leading drivers, and he finished

00:59third in the championship for the second time in three years at the end of the season.

01:04His most memorable moment on the podium came during a race he didn't even win at the German

01:08Grand Prix, where he debuted the shoey celebration.

01:12The unique Australian celebration sees a driver drink champagne from their race-worn shoe

01:16on the podium.

01:18In 2016 it caught everybody by surprise, and whenever he has been on a podium since then,

01:23Ricciardo did a shoey, and sometimes dragged other drivers into doing one too.

01:28Highs and lows of Monaco Ricciardo secured an incredible victory at the 2018 Monaco GP,

01:33fending off former teammate Vettel despite issues with his car.

01:37But that stunning win came after heartbreak just two years prior.

01:40He led the 2016 GP until a botched pit stop 32 laps in, where Red Bull did not have the

01:46proper tires ready in time, leading to a 9-second stop, and Ricciardo leaving the

01:50pit lane behind Hamilton, who eventually won the race.

01:54Crash with Verstappen and Red Bull

01:56Exit Verstappen and Ricciardo were teammates between 2016 and 2018, and while they had

02:01a good relationship, it soon became clear that Red Bull was placing its long-term future

02:05in Verstappen.

02:07At the 2018 Azerbaijan GP, the pair had been going head-to-head all race, but their battle

02:12came to an explosive end on lap 40 when they collided down the straight.

02:17There was an argument over who was to blame, but Ricciardo felt that Red Bull had favored

02:21Verstappen in the aftermath, which perhaps played into his eventual exit from the team.
