Analysis

What next for "too politically incorrect" for F1 Ticktum?

Having by his own admission "blown my chances" of reaching Formula 1, Dan Ticktum is facing an uncertain future. A driver of unquestioned ability who has at times been his own worst enemy, can he apply his lessons and rebuild his career hopes?

"I've always said if I don't make it to Formula 1 I will bugger off and do something else if I'm honest. But without being arrogant, I think I have got too much to offer behind the steering wheel."

Those are the words of Dan Ticktum. One of the most polarising young talents to come through the junior formula ranks in recent years, the 2017 McLaren Autosport BRDC Award winner is now at a career crossroads, having admitted he's blown any chance of reaching F1 - his ultimate goal.
