Ricciardo was ruled out of the Dutch Grand Prix following Friday practice last weekend afte🎐r breaking his hand following a crash.

The 34-year-old underwent su🤪rgery on his fract🐬ured metacarpal in Barcelona last Sunday.

Liam Lawson deputi🅠sed for Ricciardo in Zandvoort and Monza, and is expected to so for as long as the Australian is unable to race.

After back-to-back European races, F1 will have a week off 💝before racing in Singapore.

One week after Singapore, F1 heads to Suzuka in Japan, and Horner is doubtful Ricciardo will be ready to drive in either of those two e🎀vents.

“I think certainly Singapore, I don’t think there’s any chance he’ll be ready for then,” Horner sa🍬id.

“It would be optimistic fo🦋r Japan but his recovery💞 is going well. He’s got mobility of the hand and is into rehabilitation now.

“We’ve seen with motorcyclists rushing comebacks they can sometimes do more ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdamage. ൲So we just want to make sure he’s fully fit before we get back in the car.”

“I should think he’s [Lawson] pretty keen to be in the car in Suzuka. We’ll just take it on a day-by-day basis and see how the recovery 🌌and nature takes its course.”
