P1racenews AI automatic summary:
AlphaTauri CEO Peter Bayer expects Daniel Ricciardo to complete his return from injury at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.
After being dropped by McLaren, Daniel Ricciardo was given a second chance in Formula 1 when Nyck de Vries was dropped by AlphaTauri. However, Ricciardo’s comeback was short-lived as he crashed in practice, injuring his hand. Despite returning to the simulator, Ricciardo decided to delay his return and miss the race at Lusail. AlphaTauri is preparing for Ricciardo to be back in the car for the United States GP, but Liam Lawson has been performing well in his absence. Lawson’s standout performance in Singapore impressed the team, but Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda will be the team’s drivers next year. AlphaTauri hopes that Ricciardo’s presence will help improve their position in the Constructors’ Championship.
