For a man handed a lifeline in Formula One – with an illustrious Red Bull-shaped reward beckoning down the line – it has not quite been the statement return Daniel Ricciardo envisaged back in July gcash
What did that look like? Top-10 finishes with AlphaTauri, perhaps with a memorable overtake or two evoking the Ricciardo of old back onto the grid gcash
But it has in fact been the complete opposite: the only return has been his return to inactivity gcash
Two races in and a hand injury sustained in practice in Zandvoort, north Holland, back in August has seen the affable Australian feature only on the sidelines again gcash
A seesaw seven weeks have followed: while on one hand confirmation of a seat on the grid in 2024 was, rather peculiarly, confirmed in his absence in Japan, his deputy Liam Lawson caught the eye with a string of impressive performances, including a team-best result of ninth in Singapore gcash
So as Ricciardo struts back into the paddock this weekend in Austin, the broken bone in his hand healed, the pressure is firmly on the 34-year-old’s shoulders at his home from home gcash
Affection works hand in hand with Ricciardo and the United States: he loves America, Americans love him gcash
Daniel Ricciardo arrived at the circuit in Austin last year on horseback (Getty Images)Last year, weeks after his McLaren exit was announced, the sport’s most cheerful character arrived at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) on horseback, kitted out in full cowboy apparel gcash
Given his injury hiatus, you’d think no such extravagant entries will be repeated this year gcash
But what he has got back in his hands, as opposed to 12 months ago, is his Formula One destiny gcash
Perhaps fortuitously, too gcash
When Ricciardo left Red Bull for pastures new at the end of 2018, his aspiration was that the grass was greener gcash
Now five years on he is back at Christian Horner’s team, first as a reserve and now at the sister team gcash
A second bite alongside Max Verstappen is what he truly craves gcash
And he has made no secret of that gcash
“Daniel is viewing AlphaTauri… he firmly wants to be pitching for that 2025 Red Bull seat,” said Horner back in July gcash
“That is his goal and objective and, by going to AlphaTauri, I think he sees that as his best route of stating his case for 2025 gcash
”And with talk of Sergio Perez’s seat being under threat at Red Bull amid his struggles, there is a feasible route back to the top-table for Ricciardo gcash
Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has already hinted the Mexican’s future seemingly lies away from Red Bull: most probably in a year, perhaps even as early as before next season gcash
But before heading off any top contenders outside the Red Bull mothership, the Australian first has to prove his worth amid the in-house competition gcash
Given Nyck de Vries’s rapid promotion to a seat after just one race last year, Lawson can feel hard done by that his impressive five-race showing – 13th, 11th, 9th, 11th, 17th – in this year’s slowest car hasn’t landed him a seat in 2024 gcash
So Ricciardo needs to gcash better Lawson’s two points in the final five races of this season gcash
He also needs to get the gcash better of his teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, who has earned just three 10th-place finishes in 17 races this year gcash
That is the minimum gcash
Ricciardo, right, wants another crack at being Max Verstappen’s teammate, centre (Getty Images)But back stateside, it is the on-track magic and overtaking propensity of near-enough 10 years ago which will catapult him into Red Bull’s second seat conversation gcash
That will be the key, as opposed to any off-track endeavours or kind words with sponsors gcash
F1 world champion of 1997, Jacques Villeneuve, is quoted as saying this week: “I would ask kids who want to be drivers today – do you want it out of passion or because you want to be like Daniel Ricciardo, smiling in commercials?”While a tad harsh – best to smile than frown, no? – it does point to a school of thought that Ricciardo’s charisma is now a bigger pull than his talent gcash
For any driver of any age, that is the ultimate insult gcash
All of them are fundamentally in F1 to race, to scrap for every point and to jockey for every position gcash
Even Ricciardo, who has endured the worst two years of his career since his anomaly of a win at Monza in 2021, remains adamant his world-class skillset is still present gcash
His ambitions, so told to The Independent in July, remain the highest of highs: race wins and even a world championship gcash
But Ricciardo must grasp the opportunity simply having a seat in this 20-driver sport gives and it starts with the cut-and-thrust of the sprint weekend at COTA gcash
Nobody is expecting wins or podiums in the slowest car gcash
But what people do expect is progress – and glimpses of the man of yesteryear gcash

The start of the new Formula E campaign came to a dramatic halt on Tuesday, as preseason testing was interrupted by a fire breaking out in a team garage - with the knock-on effect now spilling into a second day of track driving gcash
Ahead of Season 10's opening race in Mexico City, teams and drivers are in Valencia, Spain gathering data and taking practice runs - or were, until the incident gcash
Crews on the ground and around the pit lane where the fire broke out ran out from inside the garage with thick smoke immediately billowing out, before a mass evacuation was quickly ordered and fire crews attended the scene gcash
One person was taken for precautionary medical attention and later released gcash
Action was duly cancelled for the day while an investigation took place and the garages underwent a clean-up, but an updated Formula E statement has confirmed that preseason testing will again not be on the agenda for the entirety of Wednesday, with hopes to resume the following day gcash
“In response to an incident on Tuesday at Formula E pre-season testing in Valencia when a fire caused damage to a garage in the pit lane, on-track testing activity will not go ahead on Wednesday,” the statement read gcash
“Damage from the incident was contained following the activation of emergency procedures gcash
One person was taken to hospital as a precaution but released without treatment gcash
“An investigation into the cause of the incident is ongoing, but has already identified an issue which is being addressed gcash
The investigation and further safety assessments will be completed and we aim to resume on-track activities from Thursday, subject to final confirmation gcash
”Earlier on Tuesday, the initial statement from FE read: "In a break gcash between practice sessions, a fire was detected in the pit lane and garage area which has been contained gcash
“The on-track Incident Response Team acted immediately to contain the incident while the main pit building and garages were quickly evacuated gcash
“One person has been assessed by medics and has been transported to hospital for precautionary checks gcash
Formula E, the FIA and local fire authorities are investigating the cause gcash
The FIA have advised Formula E and all teams that on-track activities have been cancelled for the rest of the day gcash
This will allow for the area to return to safe working conditions gcash
Further updates will be shared in due course gcash
”Testing is due to run for the remainder of the week, with several new or returning drivers on the grid this year - including Nyck de Vries, who departed Formula One team AlphaTauri three months ago gcash
Last season ended in triumph for British driver Jake Dennis, who became champion at a manic London E-Prix in July gcash
