Ricciardo F1 return in doubt for Qatar, Lawson set for more races
Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo has missed the last three grand prix races due to his crash at Zandvoort, and will not participate in the Japanese Grand Prix, with Liam Lawson continuing to fill in for him. Ricciardo’s return to Formula 1 in 2023 may be delayed to allow him more time to recover from his accident. AlphaTauri is planning a simulator program for Ricciardo to assess the mobility and effects of the crash on his hand, and they are not rushing his return, prioritizing his full recovery. Lawson may potentially compete in more races for the team in Ricciardo’s absence, as he has impressed with his solid start to his F1 career. Alpine is also preparing to test Schumacher for a WEC drive.
