AlphaTauri confirms Ricciardo won't race Singapore F1 round but will be present
Daniel Ricciardo has been absent from Formula 1 since the Dutch Grand Prix due to a hand injury he sustained in a crash during practice. He underwent surgery for his injury and has been replaced by Red Bull junior driver Liam Lawson. Ricciardo is expected to miss several races and may return at the Qatar round in October. For the Singapore race, Ricciardo will be present with his team, but there is no mention of his plans for the Japanese Grand Prix. Lawson, who has been filling in for Ricciardo, expressed feeling more comfortable in the car during the previous race in Monza and is excited about the future. He mentioned the difficulty of adjusting to F1 and the physical demands of the Singapore race. Lawson’s goal is to accumulate as many laps as possible to gain confidence on the track. The McLaren team has also revealed a livery change for the Singapore and Japan races.
