After being dropped by McLaren for F1 2023, Ricciardo ဣopted to rejoin Red Bull - the team he left at the end of 2018 - as their third ♑driver.

Ricciardo will attend a n🌳umber of races, while his role will be mainly focused on simulator work and marketing events.

After two difficult years with McLaren, Ricciardo wanteꦑd a year out to re-assess whether he still wants to be in F1.

In a post he shared on Linkedin, Ricciardo shared his goals a💛nd aims for this year at Red Bull.

“From a professional point of view, thi▨s year is really about being a team player at Red Bull. I'm back in an environmen🦹t and ultimately a family that I have a lot of good memories with and it feels really good to be back there,” Ricciardo wrote.

“ꦚBut it's notꩲ about me this year, it's about the wider team and trying to contribute and help them where I can.

“Jumpin🔴g into the simulator, learning their car and helping shape the development are all things I’m focused on doing. In turn that will develop my abilities, my confidence and my enjoyment behind the wheel.

“It's been a tough couple of years profes🅺sionally, so there's an element of that competitor in me wanting to remind people t𒐪hat I’m still here, still a professional and still contributing to success.”

Ricciardo also explained his “personal goals” revealing that he wants🎀 to improve his skills on two-wheels.

“People might think I’m joking here but I really want to get better and better on myꦯ 110! I've always enjoyed motorbikes but never really been able to ride much because the luxury of time hasn't been there,” he added. 

“But I love learning new skills and I think that drive for excellence that I’m used to will carry 🌠over into this hobb༺y too. 

“I promise you this is♈ the most fun you can have on two wheels. Riding with friends, jumping things and being out in nature. I’m getting excited just thinking about it.”
