Daniel Ricciardo on his F1 future: ‘Fernando Alonso, Kevin Magnussen & Nico Hulkenberg returns are reassuring'

Ricciardo will sit F1 2023 on the sidelines after being dropped by McLaren in favour of fellow Australian 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri.
Inst🌠ead, Ricciardo will be Red Bull’s third driver for the year, driving in the team’s simulator as well as participating in markꦇeting events.
The eight-time grand prix winner still has his sigh༒ts set on F1, eyeing a retur🔴n for 2024.
Alonso made his return to F1 with Alpine in 2021 after two years out, 🍸while Maꦰgnussen returned earlier this year at Haas, replacing Nikita Mazepin.
Hulkenberg is the latest returnee, teaming up with Magnussen having replaced 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher.
Given these꧑ th෴ree examples, Ricciardo is hopeful he will be able to complete a comeback of his own.
“Hulkenback - he needs to change his name, because he’s come back𝐆 so many times now. It’s no more berg, it’s back,” he said. “There is certainly something. I know myself obviou🌼sly better than anyone knows me, and I know what I need or what I feel will help me and things like that, so I have confidence in taking the year off, because I know what good it will do for me.
“But of course then when you see other examples - and pretty good examples💙; you know, Alonso or Magnussen, for example - that’s kind of reassuring. We’re all wired differently, and the year off could have a different effect on all of us, but actually I look at Alonso, for example, someone who lov🌄es racing all the time, and him having that time off and coming back - I feel like for me to really remove myself a bit more than maybe what he would have done will be even more powerful for me personally and what I feel I benefit from.
“Long story short, that soꦦrt of stuff encourages me. It’s the icing on the cake in terms of me feeling like I’ve done the right thing.”
