Daniel Ricciardo finished seventh in the Mexico City Grand Prix to cap off a strong weekend – with Red Bull taking note.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner praised Daniel Ricciardo for his impressive performance during the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend, stating that he showed glimpses of his old-self. Despite returning from a broken hand, expectations were low due to the nature of the Sprint weekend. This was Ricciardo’s first opportunity to put together a full weekend after his return earlier in the season. He qualified fourth on the grid and was on track for a fifth-place finish before a red flag caused by Kevin Magnussen’s crash. Ultimately, he finished in seventh place, AlphaTauri’s best result of the season, which moved the team off the bottom of the Constructors’ standings. Horner commended Ricciardo’s outstanding performance and expressed his belief that the driver is back to his old form, showcasing confidence and motivation.
