Daniel Ricciardo driving Red Bull car for first time as Christian Horner discusses return

Red Bull chief Christian Horner says a full return for Daniel Ricciardo isn’t on the cards, despite the Australian carrying out tests at Silverstone.

Ricciardo is the reserve driver at Red Bull – the manufacturer he drove for between 2014 and 2018. The 34-year-old re-joined his old team after leaving McLaren at the end of last season and is now the third driver, behind Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

He will drive the all-conquering RB19 for the first time on Tuesday as Red Bull carry out a Pirelli tyre test at Silverstone. Ricciardo is keen to use the opportunity as a springboard back to a driver’s seat for the 2024 season, but team principal Horner says that won’t happen at Red Bull.
