Daniel Ricciardo rejoins Formula 1 for Alpha Tauri

Posted : 12 July 2023
For the remainder of the season, Daniel Ricciardo will race for Red Bull's sister team Alpha Tauri in a shock comeback to Formula 1.
 
On July 23, the Australian driver, 34, who was let go by McLaren last year, will compete in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
 
Nyck de Vries, who was dropped after just 10 races, is replaced by him.
 
At the start of this season, Ricciardo, who has eight grand prix victories, joined Red Bull as a backup driver.
 
De Vries, a 28-year-old rookie from the Netherlands, has lost motivation after failing to score a single point, colliding many times, and displaying poor form in compared to his younger teammate Yuki Tsunoda.
The day after De Vries came last in the British Grand Prix, on Tuesday, Ricciardo participated in a tyre test for Red Bull at Silverstone.
"I'm stoked to be back on track with the Red Bull family," said Ricciardo.
 
Alpha Tauri team principal Franz Tost welcomes Daniel back, stating his driving skill and experience as an eight-time Formula 1 grand prix winner will be beneficial. Tost thanks Nyck for his valuable contribution and wishes him the best for the future.
 
Ricciardo's career in motorsport's most illustrious category was looked over when McLaren terminated his contract a year early due to what they considered unsatisfactory performances, choosing to replace him with compatriot Oscar Piastri.
 
But he rejoined Red Bull, for whom he won seven grands prix between 2014 and 2018, as their third driver at the end of the season and is now back in a full-time race seat after less than half a season out of the action.
