Ricciardo to make the move to McLaren
McLaren have announced the signing of Daniel Ricciardo from the 2021 season as a replacement for Carlos Sainz,
He will take Sebastian Vettel's place on the grid at Ferrari.
Ricciardo will leave Renault at the end of this campaign, yet to start because of coronavirus, and will race alongside Lando Norris after being signed to a "multi-year agreement" with McLaren.
That paved the way for Sainz to put pen to paper on a two-year contract with Ferrari, who described the Spaniard as "an ideal fit with our family".
Sainz will race alongside Charles Leclerc at the Scuderia after it was confirmed earlier this week that Vettel would leave the team, with the four-time world champion saying there was "no longer a common desire to stay together".
Sainz, who finished sixth in the drivers' championship last year and claimed his first podium when he came third in the penultimate race in Brazil, is widely expected to be the support driver for Leclerc.
Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto said on the team's website: "I'm pleased to announce that Carlos will join Scuderia Ferrari as from the 2021 championship.
"With five seasons already behind him, Carlos has proved to be very talented and has shown that he has the technical ability and the right attributes to make him an ideal fit with our family."
