David Coulthard to drive Red Bull as Daniel Ricciardo replacement at Nurburgring

The 13-time F1 grand prix winner has been called upon as a replacement for the injured 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo to feature at the Nurburgring on September 9.
Coulthard, 52, will no🦩w drive the Nordschleife circuit at the same event that will see Seb𝓀astian Vettel return to an F1 car.
It features as part of t🐓he Nurburg🌼ring 12 Hours event.
Ricciardo had been teed up to drive an old Red Bull car at the event earlier this year, wh💮ile his role was still as a third driver for F1’s dominant team.
Since then, he has☂ returned full-time for Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri.
But, a broken hand suffered last weekend will rule him out of this weekend’s F1 Italian Grand Prix and m♋uch of September too.
While𓃲 Liam Lawson is deputising for Ricciardo in the AlphaTauri, it is former Red Bull driver Coulthard who received the call-up for the Nurburgring.
Coulthard had jokingly applied to replace Ric♉ciardo at this weekend’s F1 grand prix.
It is clear: Uꦚnfortunately, Daniel Ricciardo can not participate in the Red Bull Formula Nürburgring due to his injury - for him the 13-time Grand Prix winner ꦍDavid Coulthard takes over at short notice!

“Dear Christian Horner, please read my PowerPoint f🍒or why I should be Daniel’s reserve driver,” read his social media post entitled ‘Why I should be Daniel’s reseꦑrve driver’.
It claimed “I am quick on track, I did get Red Bull’s first podium, the eng🅘ineers and I already get along, this would make me the 7th oldest ever F1 driver”.
Instead, Coulthard must settle for a fea💦ture appearance.
