Verstappen and Perez believe Red Bull will benefit significantly from Ricciardo's work in the team's F1 simulator.
Ricciardo made his first official reappearance as a Red Bull employee at the team's 2023 livery launch event in New York last Friday, where it also announced an impending engine partnership with Ford.
Red Bull has no plans for Ricciardo to appear in any 2023 practice sessions at the events he is scheduled to attend this season, which was estimated late in 2022 to be around half of the 23-race calendar. Verstappen, who raced alongside Ricciardo at Red Bull between 2016 and 2018, said the Australian has"always been a professional and a super nice guy to work with, as well as a teammate from my side as well".
"He's raced in Formula 1 for a very long time. He's a race winner. So yeah, we were very happy to have him on board that's for sure."Perez said Red bull is"very fortunate to have Daniel, [with] the level of experience that he has".
