Aft🅘er making a sensational comeback with the team before the summer break, Ricciardo was ruled out of the Dutch Grand Prix in August after breaking 🍌his wrist in second practice.

Consequently,ꩲ Ricciardo has been unable to compete at the next three races (Italy, Singapore❀ and Japan), and it seems likely he will miss Qatar as well.

Despite his absence, Ricciardo is expected to remain with AlphaTauri for F1 2024 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

Speakin🦹g at Suzuka in the FIA press conference, AlphaTauri trackside engineering chief Jonathan Eddolls 💜provided an update on Ricciardo’s recovery.

“We all saw him in Singapore,” he๊ said. “He’s still going through that recov☂ery phase. I’d say we’re still talking a while away. 

“So I wouldn’t wa🍨nt to put a target on it. The recovery is going well. We’ve got some simulator w🔜ork planned before a return and I think from our side and his side there’s no rush to get him back too early. 

“The worst thin🙈g would be to come back before it’s properly healed and cause any issues🌺. Watch this space.”

Eddolls reiterated that the simulator💙 will be a good test to see whether Ricciardo is able to return to F1, with the final decision to cꦜome from the Australian himself.

“He will jump in the simulator which is a very good representative of the car, ✨all of the loads etc,” he added. ꧒;

“The final decision is more than likely going to come from him than from us. He will know better than anyone. How’s the pain? How’s the recovery? As said, we’re not putting him under pressure to come back. We’ve got a pool of three go🐼od drivers at the moment. 

“There’s no big rush. The focus is on him making a full recovery so that when he comes back it’s not a point that꧅’s even talked ab𓆏out.”
