Daniel Ricciardo would dream of ending his career at Red Bull
Interviewed about the possibility of a return to F1 as early as 2024, Daniel Ricciardo replied that it would be like a "fairy tale" to finish his career behind the wheel of a Red Bull.
As he made his return as Red Bull’s third driver this season, Daniel Ricciardo is already thinking about his future. Speaking to ESPN, he talks about the dream of getting back behind the wheel of a Red Bull car to finish his career in a competitive vehicle.
“« To me, it would be a true fairy tale,” the Australian declared. “« Honestly, the fairy tale ending would be to finish my career here, if I could do everything my way.”
However, this return to Red Bull will not be immediate: Max Verstappen has a contract until 2028 and seems untouchable, and Sergio Pérez is tied to the Austrian team until 2024. The door that may be opening for Daniel Ricciardo could be with AlphaTauri, which is experiencing a difficult start to the season, especially with rookie Nyck de Vries who has not yet found performance.
Ricciardo remains calm and clear-headed about his chances of driving for Red Bull again: (e) But we’ll see. I’ll probably have to work a bit to climb the ranks, but it’s really nice to be back here.
