At the start of the 2024 summer break, Daniel Ricciardo could have found himself either still at RB, at Red Bull Racing or out of F1 altogether by the end of the season.
The Australian's hopes of a return to Red Bull were dashed by Sergio Perez staying on, with his attention now turning to retaining his seat from the threat of Liam Lawson.
Lawson deputised for the injured Ricciardo in the Dutch, Italian, Singapore, Japanese and Qatar Grands Prix in 2023, impressing in a difficult car with Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko hinting that Lawson would be in a 2025 race seat.
The only problem with that is that it appears it will be either Ricciardo or Lawson on the outside in 2025, with Lawson also very willing to look outside of the stable for a seat, if he can find one if not given a Red Bull seat.
But we want to know whether you think Ricciardo has done enough to retain his seat?
In a patchy season, the eight-time grand prix winner has scored points in the Miami sprint, Canada, Austria and Belgium, with a smattering of good qualifying performances sprinkled throughout.
But is it enough to stay for 2025? Let us know what you think by voting in the latest RN365 poll below!
