Daniel Ricciardo has denied reports which circulated this week that he is in negotiations with Ferrari about a race seat in 2019.
Ricciardo is the key player in this year's driver market as he is out of contract at the end of 2018. Red Bull has given the Australian driver until August to decide on whether to accept its offer of an extension, amid links to Ferrari and reigning world champions Mercedes.
This week, Italian media suggested Ricciardo had signed a 'pre-agreement' deal with Ferrari giving both parties exclusive negotiating rights until June 30, but he was quick to quash those rumours ahead of this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
