Ricciardo is set to make his ꧅long-awaited return from injury at this weeken♋d’s United States Grand Prix.

He was forced to miss five races after suffering a broken metacarpal during a practice c🍸rash at Zandvoort in August.

The Australian broke his wrist and u♌nderwent surgery in Barcelona shortly after that.

Since then, he’s been forced to sit on the sidelines, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson has impressed for AlphaTauri.

Ricciardo’s short-term future is secure as AlphaTauri announced him alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda for 2024 last month.

Speaking in Austin on Thursd❀ay, Ricciardo gave some insight into his reco𝔉very.

“I’m ಞwell, happy to be back,” he said. “The hand is good. I want to get back to it. Tougher than I thought, but I’m a wuss.

“When the accident happened and we were aware of what bone broke, they ♐seemed okay, like it was an easy fix, but when we got the surgery done it was mo𒊎re difficult.”

During Ricciardo’s absence, AlphaTauri have heavily upgraded their car as they look to close the gap to Alfa Romeo and Haas inౠ the championship standings.

“I went to Singapore where they had big updates,” he added. “T🎉he drivers were saying they felt good di💧fferences. I’m expecting a car a little different to where I left it. It’s my third race, I’m still very green, everything feels news to me.
