Daniel Ricciardo he will return to the Red Bull family in 2023 as ambassador, reserve and simulator driver, after his experiences away from Milton Keynes lived in Renault and McLaren. After having terminated his contract with the Woking team a season early, Ricciardo found himself without a level solution to continue his career and therefore chose the option of a year on the bench, but in a top team . And therefore the return ‘home’ to Red Bull was a natural outlet, as confirmed yesterday by the Anglo-Austrian team consultant Helmut Marko on the microphones of German television.
But the signatures have not yet been placed on the contract, as pointed out by Ricciardo himself, and therefore to have the official status it will be necessary to wait a few more hours or a few days.
Also Christian Hornerteam principal of the team, present at the press conference on Saturday, confirmed that the agreement has not yet been formally concluded: “Well, we haven’t signed anything yet, but Helmut in a fit of enthusiasm has already announced it. I think that means she will be joining us next year. Unless you decide not to sign!“, the British manager joked to the journalists present. Horner then wanted to dedicate a greeting to Sebastian Vettel, who will hang up his helmet on Sunday: “He came to us as a kid, now he has an extraordinary personality and is an extraordinary driver. I have phenomenal memories with him, he’s one of the greatest in history.” And the memories that Horner has of Vettel are really special: “I remember a time when Sebastian was in our country house. At one point he went for a walk and took two donkeys. Someone noticed it and said: ‘I just saw Vettel with the donkeys from Shrek’”. Closure on what happened between Perez and Verstappen in Brazil: “Our problem was not discussing all the possible scenarios first.”.
