Christian Horner hopes Alpine can offer Daniel Ricciardo a lifeline as his future in Formula 1 looks increasingly uncertain.
The Aussie is currently without a seat for 2023 after being let go by McLaren. He was due to spend one more year with the Woking-based outfit, but amid his ongoing struggles for form and consistency the team decided to cut their losses and replace him with 2021 F2 champion Oscar Piastri.
Despite being an eight-time race winner and offering a bucket load of experience, teams have not been falling over themselves to sign Ricciardo. Instead, those who still have vacancies are looking elsewhere.
