Daniel Ricciardo will join Red Bull as their third driver for the 2023 Formula One season, the Australian reuniting with the team he raced for between 2014 and 2018 and with whom he scored seven grand prix victories.

Ricciardo was dropped by McLaren at the end of this season and was unable to secure a full-time race seat with a competitive team for next year. He was eager to maintain a role within F1 and will now join the world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez at Red Bull. The 33-year-old will take part in testing, simulator work and commercial duties.
