Now the arrival of ricciardo as a reserve driver in 2023 could make fear of perez for losing his position, although the Mexican has assured that he is calm. “I’m very relaxed. We are always under a lot of pressure and, for my part, nothing changes,” he told ‘Sky Sports’.
“I want to say that, we live under a lot of pressure all the time. It doesn’t change anything on my part, I think it’s a great achievement for the team to have a driver like Daniel and it will contribute a lot. He’s a great guy, he’s one of the guys I get along with the most in the paddock, so I think it’s great to have Daniel in the team, and for my part nothing changes”, says the Mexican.
“I believe that It’s good for the team to have a driver like Daniel. It will contribute a lot. He’s a good guy, he’s one of the ones I get along best with in the paddock and It’s good that he’s on the team“, has indicated to close.
Will Ricciardo return to F1 in 2024?
Maybe ricciardo instead of in Red Bullend up in another team in 2024. The Australian has assured in the ‘Fast Lane’ podcast that it would be a surprise for him to see the cars running next year and not want to be there: “I would be very, very surprised if I saw racing, especially when on the track, And I wasn’t looking forward to being out there, competing and things like that”.
“I think that’s also the beauty of the next year and having that time off will give me that hard answer. I’ll know what I really want. Maybe later I don’t feel like it at all after seeing the first race do the others…”, he adds. Ricciardo assured that he would return to “take revenge”.
“And then if an opportunity comes up in 2024, then I feel like I’ll be foaming at the mouth,” he says in closing. Ricciardo was sacked by McLaren for his poor performance in 2021 and 2022, with one year remaining on his contract with the British.
The Australian said precisely to perez before a race this year that he would take 2023 off and return in 2024but time will tell if that is true or if the pilot is left without a hole for the future.
