Ricciardo to stay in Formula One after rejoining Red Bull squad

RED Bull Racing has named Daniel Ricciardo as its reserve driver for the 2023 Formula One season. It sees the Australian return to the squad that he joined in 2014, and where he took seven wins over the course of five seasons.

His new role will see him undergo some testing and simulator work, and means it's possible he could fill in for world champion Max Verstappen or team-mate Sergio Perez, should either be unable to race for any reason. "The smile says it all," said Ricciardo. "I'm truly excited to be coming back home to Oracle Red Bull Racing as their third driver in 2023."

BUYING CARS
