Ricciardo and Verstappen will be reunited at Red Bull next year. So the two old team mates together again in one team.
Next year Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo will be team mates at Red Bull again. Ricciardo previously drove from 2014 to 2018 for the team where Max Verstappen is currently causing a stir. Max overtook him and then Daniel surprisingly went to Renault.
After two years at Renault, he made the switch to McLaren, where he was unable to secure his seat for next season after disappointing results. A permanent place with another Formula 1 team was apparently not an option.
Reserve
Helmut Marko has just confirmed on German television at Sky after the first free practice session in Abu Dhabi that Ricciardo will be back under the Red Bull flag. Of course as a spare. That means that behind Verstappen and Perez he has to settle for a position as third driver.
An extra stick behind the door for Sergio Perez. With Ricciardo, there is a very experienced driver breathing down his neck. Red Bull has a fast car with good results. If Sergio does not deliver, Daniel could just be ready to show what he has to offer.
UPDATE: Helmut Marko goes back on his words. He apparently said something would happen IF Ricciardo comes back as third driver, but the ‘if’ has been lost. He says that there are certainly talks with Ricciardo, but nothing has been signed yet. So a Piastri, which also means that it can go in any direction. To be continued!
