Ricciardo: "Frustrating to hit pause" on AlphaTauri F1 comeback
Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo broke his wrist in practice for the Dutch Grand Prix in August, forcing him to miss five races. However, he will be returning to the track this weekend at the US Grand Prix. Ricciardo expressed his frustration with having to pause his comeback after just two races but acknowledged that the time without racing went by quickly. He tested his hand in a simulator session before the Qatar race but didn’t feel it was at its full potential. Ricciardo also mentioned that his overall fitness is fine, although he couldn’t do much with his left hand or arm during his recovery. During his absence, AlphaTauri made some updates and changes to the car, which Ricciardo feels will have a noticeable impact once he gets on track. He is excited to experience the changes firsthand and is looking forward to racing again.
