Daniel Ricciardo is open to the prospect of returning to the Formula 1 grid – but former champion Alan Jones is not convinced that he will.
The Aussie is back in the F1 paddock for the first time this season at his home race. The Australian Grand Prix is the first of several events this year which Ricciardo will attend in his capacity as a reserve driver for Red Bull.
But the only competitive driving he will be doing in 2023 is if one of Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez is forced to miss out on a race for whatever reason. Otherwise, opportunities to get behind the wheel of the RB19 will be extremely limited.
