P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Daniel Ricciardo is still viewed as a big draw from Circuit of the Americas boss Bobby Epstein.
Circuit of the Americas F1 boss Bobby Epstein extended an offer to Daniel Ricciardo to participate in the United States Grand Prix weekend to “keep busy.” Despite losing his RB seat to Liam Lawson after Singapore, Ricciardo is still highly popular in Austin and the U.S., thanks in part to the success of Netflix’s Drive to Survive. Although there’s no confirmation of Ricciardo’s travel plans to Texas on October 18-20, Epstein believes he could still engage fans in a “meaningful” way even off the track. Epstein highlighted Ricciardo’s influence within the F1 community and expressed hope for his participation to interact with fans, sign autographs, and engage with the local community. Riccardo’s presence would be cherished by many, and Epstein aims to keep him active and engaged over the event weekend.
