Daniel Ricciardo will drive for the McLaren Formula 1 team in 2021 alongside Lando Norris, the team announced in a statement.

The Australian will replace Carlos Sainz who is reportedly tying up a deal with Ferrari. 

Ricciardo will leave Renault at the end of the 2020 season, after joining the French outfit from Red Bull in 2019. 

McLaren CEO Zak Brown said: "Signing Daniel is another step forward in our long-term plan and will bring an exciting new dimension to the team, alongside Lando. This is good news for our team, partners and of course our fans.

"I also want to pay tribute to Carlos for the excellent job he has been doing for McLaren in helping our performance recovery plan. He is a real team player and we wish him well for his future beyond McLaren."
