F1 United States Grand Prix: Daniel Ricciardo set for a reserve driver role in 2023 - but not with Mercedes
The veteran has confirmed that he won’t be in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up after leaving McLaren at the end of this season.
Ricciardo has “closed” negotiations to be a reserve driver but it will not be for Mercedes, Sky reported during Qualifying at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 United States Grand Prix.
It could be with Red Bull, the team he form𝓡erly represented, Sky speculated.
Ricciardo had previously insisted that becoming a reserve drive൲r in a major team would tee him up for a brighter future than accepting a full-time seat further down the grid.
He had been heavily linked to a reserve role with Mercedes, despite 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton dissuading him and advising that he🍷🦄 remains in F1 full-time, but that avenue is now seemingly closed.
🐟“You will s🎀ee me around,” Ricciardo teased this week.
“It will look different for me but there is very much a plan in p𒆙lace.
“I am not checking o꧃ut and saying ‘see you later’. It’s far from that.
“I am putting together 🍒a plan to, honestly, get me back to the front of the grid, to win ꦗraces, and to do the stuff that I know that I can.”
Ricciardo is currently 12th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings amid a disappointing year.
