Christian Horner confirmed that Helmut Marko was premature in his announcement that Daniel Ricciardo will join Red Bull for 2023.
The Aussie has been on the hunt for a reserve role for next season ever since he came to terms with the fact he would not have a race seat. He was linked heaving with a return to his former team, while Mercedes were also believed to have been an option.
Red Bull adviser Marko, speaking to Sky Sports Germany on Friday, revealed the 33-year-old would be returning to the team. "Ricciardo will be our third driver," said the Austrian. "We have so many sponsors, we have to do show runs and the like, so of course he's one of the most high-profile and best-suited."
