Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull Dreams Crumble, According to F1 Veteran

The Aussie F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo’s long cherished dream of making an comeback to the Red Vull team, where he rose to fame in the F1 world, may crumble due to Red Bull plans for making a dream team, to succeed the current superhit Verstappen-Perez duo.

With the 34 year old Aussie making a comeback move to AlphaTauri, Red Bull’s sister team in the 2023 F1 season, then getting off the rest of the season due to a serious injury on his thumb, then again securing a spot with AlphaTauri for the 2024 season, seems to be miracle.

But F1 Veteran driver and analyst Helmut Marko thinks otherwise, the Ausyrian advisor to Red Bull was full of praises for the Yong and upcoming talents such as Norris and Piastri McLaren, who performed wonderfully throughout a Red Bull and Max Verstappen dominated 2023 F1 season. He also stated that these young drivers can certainly the future faces of Red Bull, As Perez’s career will soon be coming to an end.

Especially for the British youngster, Marko insisted-

“Marko stated that although Norris has a contract with McLaren until 2025, he is the most skilled young driver.”

Additionally, it would fit him better at Red Bull given his youthful temperament, and he and Max are undeniably close friends.

As all teams and drivers do throughout the course of a season, and especially during the approaching contracting “silly season,” Marko stated that the team “still maintain contact” with Norris.

In the case of Daniel, Marko also commented to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: “ Throughout the tyre test, Ricciardo’s lap times on three distinct sets of tyres were competitive.

Had Ricciardo not been able to accelerate, we would have had to think of an alternative.

However, AlphaTauri is now not in a good position and is ranked last among constructors, so we had to take action to improve that. That frequently occurs following a driver switch, and Ricciardo energises the group.
