Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner asserts that Daniel Ricciardo was “right” to miss last weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix amid
Daniel Ricciardo, who was dropped by McLaren last year, returned to Formula 1 with AlphaTauri but has been sidelined since injuring his hand in a crash during the Dutch Grand Prix. Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner believes Ricciardo made the right decision to miss the recent race in Qatar due to the extreme humidity. Horner said it was important for Ricciardo to be fully fit and the extra time off would help him prepare for the upcoming race in Austin. Ricciardo will continue with AlphaTauri next year, so there was no rush for him to return and risk further injury. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has expressed frustration with current driver Sergio Perez’s performances and suggested that he might need a change of team.
