P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Daniel Ricciardo will get back behind the wheel in the USA this weekend – but it could prove to be his toughest challenge yet this year.
Daniel Ricciardo, who has been sidelined due to a hand injury, will make his second comeback of the year at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Despite his previous return to racing with AlphaTauri, this weekend’s challenge will be tougher as he has had to endure another lengthy stint out of the car. Ricciardo will have limited practice time before being thrown into the competitive sessions of the F1 Sprint weekend. The Circuit of the Americas is a technically challenging track with a combination of high and medium-speed corners. While Ricciardo has experience on his side, it would be a significant performance for him to match teammate Yuki Tsunoda’s pace. Additionally, his return presents a significant opportunity to showcase his adaptability and potentially secure a future with Red Bull. Ricciardo’s previous successful comeback earlier this year with AlphaTauri at the Hungarian Grand Prix gives him confidence as he aims to reassert himself in Formula 1.
