Daniel Ricciardo’s return has been mooted for the Qatar Grand Prix since he picked up his injury, and AlphaTauri have now made their final decision.
The Australian driver, sidelined due to a metacarpal fracture he picked up in a crash at the Dutch Grand Prix, had been a possibility for a return this weekend, but he and the team have decided against rushing back to the cockpit unnecessarily.With Lawson showing up for each weekend on a race-by-race basis, knowing that Ricciardo could resume the cockpit of the AT04 at any moment, the Kiwi will have another opportunity to impress this weekend at Lusail.
But, while Ricciardo had only just secured an F1 comeback with AlphaTauri, completing two races for the team before the summer break, the pressure to return to the cockpit was alleviated by the fact he and Tsunoda have secured their places with the team for 2024. Lawson, who has committed to a reserve role with Red Bull and AlphaTauri next season, will thus have at least one more race weekend in which to impress and try to add to his points tally, having scored his first F1 points at last month’s Singapore Grand Prix.Logan Sargeant hurting team ‘motivation’ as replacement put forward
