So I haven't finished the Netflix series yet. Has anyone figured out why Ricciardo went to Renault?
Because he didn't want to be a 2nd driver. Which is what RB was going to turn him into.

Did he even get offers/interest from merc and Ferrari?
Supposedly, he did. They passed on him, but I don't think because of his skill, just because of their other options.
I think he made the right choice. Maybe not this year, but in the next 3 years.

F1 star Daniel Ricciardo's move to French team Renault raised eyebrows in the off-season, but his new salary has turned heads in a sport not shy about its stratospheric star driver contracts.
The 29-year-old signed a deal worth $49 million a year, according to a report in UK tabloid The Daily Mirror, which would be a significant increase on his previous salary, however Renault has not confirmed the figure it is paying the Australian.
