The veteran driver will be back behind the wheel f♕or a tyre test following the F1 British Grand Prix, a rare opportunity for him in the ൩car this season.

It is a cru𝓡cial moment for Ricciardo, now Red Bull’s third driver, to impress ahe𝔍ad of his desired comeback.

“We will have Ricciardo in the car f🌱or three days after Silverstone at the tyre test and then you can evaluate where Ricciardo really stands,” Red Bull con📖sultant Helmut Marko told .

It comes at a time when Max Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez has let hi𒁃s𝔉 good form slip away.

After two grand prix wins earlꦯier this season, Perez has finished P16, P4 and P6 in the most recent rꦐaces.

As the teammate of the two-time world champion, Perez is constantly under the microscope, particularly when the volatility of their relationship occasionally spills﷽ over.

Marko said about Perez’s Red Bull career: “His initial target was two, three years, which would be more than hಌe planned anyway, and you just have to keep options open for the succession.”

Those words could be music to the ears of the popular Austꦅralian Ri𝐆cciardo.

He lost his McLaren seat last season and rejected offers from Haas to stay on the grid in favour of a third driver role at a major tꦕeam, hoping it would result in a high-profile return.

T👍hree days driving the RB19 next month gives him his be๊st chance yet to show what he can do.
