The Australian, who returned to Red Bull as a reserve driver for 2023 after parting ways with McLarܫen, will drive th♏e RB19 during a Pirelli tyre test in July. 

Ricciardo has mixed his time conducting simulator work alongside being at the track as a back-up for Red Bull regulars168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez. 

But Ricciardo has now confirmed he will get his first tas🍎te behind the ಞwheel of Red Bull’s race-winning 2023 challenger. 

“I’ve been in the simulator, but I will drive the RB19 in July after the Silverstone race – I’m getting a Pirelli test,” Ricciardo told ESPN at the Miami Grand Prix. 

“Then maybe I’ll get another one after Monza as well in September. A couple of months away [and] I’ll get t♔o feel what it’s like.

“I’m certainly excited to drive a fast car, but also a c♍ar that maybe still feels familiar for me – it does a little bit in the sim. But I’m just excited to drive again and to just try to remind a team obviously I once had a lot of success with that I can still turn a fast lap.”

The RB19 has proved to be the class of the fieܫld in 2023, winning all five races and enabling Red Bull’s drivers to record four one-two finishes. 

Eight-time grand prix winner Ricciardo hopes his supporting role at Red Bull can help him land a full-time return to the F1 grid in 202🍸4. 

“I’m definitely still in like a really good place – I’m very happy with this,” he said. ✅“Does it mean that I’m happy doing this for the next two or three years? Probably not. But I think for this year it’s certainly a good thing for me.

“I do want to… Right now, I do want to get back on the grid next year. I do feel like there’s cer🅘tainly some unfinished business. I’m staying like in the loop and staying prepared and whatever.

“Iꦆ’m also ticking a few boxes that if I do get back on the grid next year, and I’m on the grid for the next, whatever, five years, for example, maybe there’s things that I won’t get a chance to do. I want to tick some boxes for myself for like some self-fulfil🍃ment.

“The New York marathon got mentioned. I had a few friends run it last year and I was like, ‘That looks pretty cool’. There’s these sort of things that I’m thinkiꦛng about and obviously in a regular season I wouldn’t get the chance to do, so I kind of want to put myself out there and do some things like that this year.”

Later this year, Ricciardo will also take to the✅ Nordschleife in an o🔯lder Red Bull F1 car.
