Daniel Ricciardo returning to Red Bull in 2023

Certain of no longer being on the grid Formula 1 in 2023, Daniel Ricciardo despite everything, hoped to keep one foot in the discipline by landing a role as third driver in a team on the plateau. While certain rumors in the corridors of recent weeks sent him to Mercedes, it is finally at Red Bull that the Australian will find refuge. Helmut Marko confirmed this on Sky Sports Germany. “Ricciardo will be our third driver, said the Austrian leader. We have so many sponsors, we have to do demonstrations and such, so of course he is one of the most high profile and best suited. »

It will therefore be a return home for Daniel Ricciardo, who drove for Red Bull from 2014 to 2018 for a record of 100 Grands Prix and seven victories with the Austrian team. “Danny Ric” will find in Milton Keynes a role that he already knows, since he was already a Red Bull reserve driver from 2009, before being established at Toro Rosso in 2012. His return to Red Bull should mainly result in promotional performances for the red bull brand, while Liam Lawson should be the main reserve.
