“It’s an important test for Pirelli𒀰 but it’s also going to be great to see him back in a Red Bull car and seeing where he’s at – both on pace and mentally, physically," Ho🧜rner said.
Ricciardo told us in an exclusive interview at Silverstone: "I’m just taking it all in my stride. I’m very a🍸ppreciative and excited. I k🦋now I’ll be watched. I know it’s not just ‘hey man, go and do some laps for us’.
"Of course at this l⛎evel everyone’s watching. But there’s no pressure. I’m just treating it as something that’s going to be an amazing experience, something that’s going to spark me again.”
And on Tuesday, maybe even while Ricci🐻ardo was driving the RB19 around Silverstone, it was confirmed that he will return nex♋t week at the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix driving for AlphaTauri, as a replacement for the axed Nyck de Vries.
