It's a bit sad, I've been a big fan of Ricciardo, but we can't say this hasn't been coming for some time. The measure of F1 drivers has always been and always will be against their team-mate. Whether you think it is fair or foul doesn't matter, it's a bubble sort, and whoever rises to the top wins. In this respect Norris has had Daniel comfortably covered for sometime.
We should be too upset, Ricciardo will walk away with about US$20M as a payout, not too bad for redundancy!
If he wants to keep driving he'll probably find a seat in one of the lesser teams, much like Vettel or Alonso, and there also remains the possibility of other retirements, but for any team "in the running" he is unlikely to be the top driver.
