How Daniel Ricciardo went from ‘disastrous’ sim run to an F1 return in 11 lapsChristian Horner has explained the sequence of events that meant Daniel Ricciardo went from a “disastrous” sim session to convincing Red Bull to give him a seat.
“I said to him why didn’t he come back to Red Bull for 12 months, out of the car predominantly, help us with simulation work, and a bit of tyre testing, and just come back into the fold and refind his passion for the sport. “The plan was always to put him in for that Silverstone test. We kept him very busy on off-track activities, marketing-wise, and the test was extremely impressive.”With the RB19 the dominant car of the F1 field, as Max Verstappen romps to win after win en route to a third consecutive title, Ricciardo was given his opportunity to climb into the cockpit for a Pirelli tyre test two days after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
“What impressed me the most [in 2023 test], I went up to have a look, was, bearing in mind this guy hadn’t been in a car for several months, within his third or fourth lap, he was down to a time that was within a second of what our drivers were achieving.
