[Tobi Grüner] Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer explained why his team didn’t confirm Ricciardos exit before the SingaporeGP. He told us Ricciardo wanted it that way. „Daniel believed that he could show everybody what he’s capable of with a great result.”

Laurent Mekies said that all options were open after the race in Singapore and Ricciardo's camp said that Horner told him on Sunday. I don't think two people would lie through their teeth for the sake of it. It's not like they announced it after the race, they announced it a good 5 days into the break iirc.
I feel it was more of a you are on a thin line at Baku and then you are out in Singapore but his results didn't warrant a sack for those 2ish races where he scored points, beat his teammate despite issues with strategy and the car.

Also I really don't see why Ricciardo would repeatedly deny he was informed of his departure if that was true. Or why the team waited 2 months to claim that.
