New seat, new roles for eight-time Formula 1 race winner in return to Red Bull Racing.
After nearly 12 years on the Formula 1 grid, Daniel Ricciardo finds himself in a reserve role for 2023.
After nearly 12 full seasons on the Formula 1 grid Ricciardo was left without a seat after he and McLaren mutually agreed to terminate a three-year contract one season early. While Ricciardo’s recruitment was facilitated by his marketability, he is still set to play a role in Red Bull’s attempts to retain both titles. Ricciardo will undertake duties in Red Bull’s simulator, providing tips based off his experience, and is likely to briefly sample the RB19 during in-season tire testing.
Verstappen’s current teammate, Sergio Perez, concurred, believing Ricciardo “will be a massive help” through the season as “he’ll understand what we’re talking about when we’re talking about the car.”
