What would you love to do if you only had the time? If you’re seasoned Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo, riding a 110cc motorcycle across the United States is definitely on the list. In late November, 2022, the Australian racer exited McLaren and returned back to Red Bull Racing as a third driver for the 2023 season.
For a driver who’s racked up 32 podiums over the course of his career—and most of those in his first stint with Red Bull—some might wonder what he’s doing. However, according to Ricciardo, what the third driver position really means is that he’ll be doing testing and simulator work, as well as marketing appearances for Red Bull. More than that, though, he'll actually have a lot more time off to evaluate what he wants to do going forward. Does he want to continue in Formula One, or does he want to retire from the sport?
