Daniel Ricciardo looks set to return to Red Bull, but he won't be replacing Sergio Perez, says team principal Christian Horner F1 AbuDhabiGP
"Ricciardo will be our third driver," Marko told Sky Germany."We have so many sponsors, we have to do show runs, so of course he's one of the most high-profile and best-suited.”Video of Why was Daniel Ricciardo replaced by Oscar Piastri at McLaren for F1 2023?
Speaking during the team principals’ press conferences on Saturday, Horner stressed that Ricciardo’s deal has not yet been officially finalised. “We haven’t signed anything yet, but Helmut, in his enthusiasm, has obviously announced it,” said Horner. “So I guess that means Daniel will be joining us, unless, of course, he chooses not to sign.”"Daniel's a big character, it's been disappointing to see his performance this year but he's still one of the biggest names in Formula 1," he continued.
"Just with the demands on race drivers these days, from a marketing perspective alone, we're an active team and do very many show runs and events, so to have a driver of Daniel's profile and history with the team is only an asset for us. "It means he keeps in touch with Formula 1 and we'll obviously be using him on the simulator as well when he attends events.”
