It was confirmed on Tuesday (11/7/2023) that AlphaTauri F1 Team has re-sign former driver Daniel Ricciardo as their second driver for the rest of 2023 season, replacing Nyck de Vries for next weekends Hungarian Grand Prix.



Ricciardo who was released by McLaren last year, will race at the Hungarian Grand Prix, he replaces Nyck de Vries, who has been dropped after only ten Grand Prix with AlphaTauri.



Ricciardo, rejoined Red Bull as a reserve driver at the beginning of this season.

While former Formula E Champion De Vries, has lost his drive after failing to pick up a single point, as well as having several crashes and struggling for form in comparison with younger team-mate Yuki Tsunoda.

Ricciardo rejoined Red Bull, for whom he won seven grands prix between 2014 and 2018, as their third driver at the end of the season and is now back in a full-time race seat after less than half a season out and now returns to AlphaTauri (formally know as Toro Rosso) where he raced for the team between 2012 and 2013.



Overall, happy for Daniel Ricciardo returing back to F1, meanwhile gutted for Nyck de Vries losing his drive, won't be the last time a driver will be fired by Red Bull.

Anyway, good luck for Daniel Ricciardo for next weekend at AlphaTauri.
