Daniel Ricciardo says he wants to spend the remainder of his career within the Red Bull family even if he fails to earn a promotion from AlphaTauri to the senior team.
Having been let go by McLaren at the end of last season, Ricciardo signed up as Red Bull's third driver for 2023 before making a surprise early return to the grid in place of Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri.Ricciardo has repeatedly made it clear his ultimate desire is to earn a return to Red Bull, but has now made it clear he would favour staying with AlphaTauri over a move to any other team.
'But in the end I think having the two races was the best preparation because it gave me a lot to think about during the break and gave me a chance to catch up a little bit as well on race fitness and things like that.'I've really been, let's say been back in it now. I'm really loving it and I'm fully immersed. After Spa we did a debrief with the team and I was watching tons of on-boards and just trying to keep learning and figuring out where we're at with the car.
