LAS VEGAS. — After being a motor racing nomad, Daniel Ricciardo says being back in the Red Bull stable with Formula One’s newest team, the now-rebranded Visa Cash App RB, has been like coming home.
Ricciardo won seven races while at Red Bull from 2014 to 2018. Last year he joined the Red Bull-owned AlphaTauri team, and he is now tipped as a possible replacement for Mexican Sergio Perez to partner world champion Max Verstappen in 2025.
“Getting back into Red Bull and the family, I feel so much at home, so the truth is this is where I want to be,” Ricciardo told Reuters. “I am embracing it a lot more because a year ago I was unsure if I would race Formula One ever again …”
“Deep down I knew I wasn’t done but there was no guarantee I would be offered a seat again.”
For now, a new name, look and sponsors have fuelled new ambitions of moving up the grid for Ricciardo and his Japanese team mate Yuki Tsunoda . — Reuters.
