Daniel Ricciardo displays massive post-surgery wound
The AlphaTauri dri📖ver displayed 🧜a massive wound with stitches, after going under the knife to fix the injury sustained at Zandvoort.
He broke the mᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚetacarpal in his left hand and was operated upon in Barcelona.
Ricciardo is lik🐻ely to remain on the sidelines for a while yet.
Lawrence Barretto reported: “Sour⭕ces say Daniel Ricciardo is cracking on with rehab but it might be some time before he returns. He’s🤡 remaining upbeat, though.
“Sensibly, he’s waiti🦩ng to be fully fit before coming back. There’s no point rushing, especially as he had impressed in his first two races back.”
Ricciardo could miss the Singapꦚore, Japan and even the Qatar grands💛 prix.
The injury came in practice for Ricciardo's third race since his mid-season comeback, so he has still only compl🍷eted ꧑two grands prix this year.
Liam Lawson has very ably depꩵutised for Ricciardo so far.
But Ricciardo, whose current deal is only until th♚e end of 2023, has plenty of hope to be kept in the AlphaTauri seat next season too.
