Daniel Ricciardo will race for AlphaTauri for the rest of this season, Red Bull has confirmed.
The Aussie has been a reserve driver for the team this year after losing his McLaren seat. However, he will make a return to racing earlier than expected after Red Bull agreed to loan him to their sister team.
It comes after Ricciardo drove a Formula 1 car for the first time since the end of last season in a tyre test at Silverstone on Tuesday. A Red Bull spokeperson told Mirror Sport the team felt he had put in "a strong performance".
