Daniel Ricciardo will be a member of the Red Bull team from 2023. The Australian returns to the team where he spent several years after arriving from Toro Rosso in a move that comes just after all the mess between Sergio Pérez and Max Verstappen at the Brazilian GP.
Has been Marko Helmut who has confirmed the news on ‘Sky Germany’. A piece of news that will put Ricciardo back in the brand of energy drinks in a job that is not entirely clear.
Because Marko also said that the role of third pilot was going to be for Liam Lawson, F2 driver who already rode with F1 in the Abu Dhabi Free Practice.
Thus, Ricciardo has simulator, marketing, exhibition… and wait to see what happens with Sergio Pérez.
The Australian also already knows what sVerstappen’s teammate, well, in 2016, 2017 and 2018 the two shared ‘locker room’ at Red Bull.
And now it’s a position that is ‘in doubt’. Not because of ‘Checo’s’ level of driving, but rather because of the mess formed in Brazil between the two.
We will see if in 2024 Ricciardo is Verstappen’s partner, if it is Sergio Pérez… or if it is another pilot who wears the colors of Red Bull.
