Red Bull to “evaluate” Daniel Ricciardo at Silverstone test

The veteran driver wil๊l be back behind the wheel for a tyre test following the F1 British Grand Prix, a rare opportunity for him in the car this season.
It is a crucial 🀅moment for Ricciardo, now Red Bull’s third driver, to impress ahead of hܫis desired comeback.
“We will have Ricciardo in the ꧟car for three days after Sil💞verstone at the tyre test and then you can evaluate where Ricciardo really stands,” Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko told .
It comes at a time when Max 𓂃Verꦏstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez has let his good form slip away.
After two grand prix wins earlier this se𝕴ason, Perez has finished P16, P4 an꧑d P6 in the most recent races.
As the teammate of the two-time world champion, Perez is constantly under thꦡe microscope, particularly when the volatility of their relationship occasionall꧃y spills over.

Marko said about Perez’s Red Bull career: “His initial target was two, three years, 𒁏which would be more than he planned anyway, and you just have to keep options open for the succession.”
Those words could be music to ꦍthe ears of the popular Australian Ricciardo.
He lost his McLaren seat last season and rejected 🀅offers from Haas to stay on the grid in favour of a third driver role at a major team, hoping ♐it would result in a high-profile return.
Three days driving the RB19 next month gives 🃏him his be♉st chance yet to show what he can do.
