July 21, 2023 (Gold) 3:24 am
In a surprising move, AlphaTauri F1 has announced a driver change for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix. Nick de Vries will step down from his position, making way for the seasoned veteran, Daniel Ricciardo.
Ricciardo, known for his impressive track record with 32 podium finishes and 8 wins in Formula 1, is set to join Yuki Tsunoda as his teammate. The performance of this newly-formed duo in the AlphaTauri F1 team has piqued the interest of fans and experts alike, as they eagerly speculate how far Ricciardo can push the team towards success.
For Ricciardo, proving himself against Tsunoda is crucial. If he fails to outperform the young driver, his chances of securing a promotion to Red Bull, the coveted team within the Red Bull family, may be jeopardized. This adds an extra layer of motivation for Ricciardo to give it his all in the upcoming race. On the other hand, a victory over Ricciardo could immensely boost Tsunoda’s reputation in the competitive world of Formula 1.
Daniel Ricciardo: Ready for a Fresh Start
“I am thrilled to be back in action,” said Ricciardo. “Being a part of the Red Bull family has always meant being ready to seize any opportunity that comes your way.”
The transition to AlphaTauri has been seamless for Ricciardo. During a recent visit to the team’s headquarters in Faenza, he noted the familiar faces and a sense of comfort that made him feel at home. Reflecting on his recent tire test at Silverstone in a Red Bull car, Ricciardo expressed confidence in adapting to the AlphaTauri car and fine-tuning his performance. He embraces the challenge of jumping straight into a new car and is excited about the upcoming race.
Ricciardo also aims to utilize his experience to contribute to the development of the AlphaTauri car. While his primary goal is to enjoy the race in Budapest and push the limits of his abilities, he acknowledges the importance of finding rhythm and balance on the circuit in order to fully savor the experience.
Teammate Perspectives
Yuki Tsunoda, who will be partnered with Ricciardo, sees the addition of the seasoned driver as an advantage. He believes that racing alongside Ricciardo will provide valuable learning opportunities and further enhance his own skills. Tsunoda seems excited to rise up to the challenge and make his mark in the fiercely competitive F1 world.
The AlphaTauri F1 team’s decision to bring Ricciardo on board has attracted attention from fans and experts alike. With Ricciardo’s wealth of experience and Tsunoda’s determination, all eyes will be on the team as they step onto the track in Hungary.

From the 12th round of F1, the Hungarian GP (Hungary), AlphaTauri F1 will replace Nick de Vries with 34-year-old Daniel Ricciardo.
Ricardo, a great veteran with 32 podiums including 8 wins in F1, has returned to regular F1 driver as a teammate to Yuki Tsunoda, and how far he can drive the lowest placed Alpha Tauri F1 is attracting attention.
For Ricciardo, if he cannot beat Yuki Tsunoda, who is in his third year in F1, he will not be promoted to Red Bull, so he will do his best. Also, for Yuki Tsunoda, if he wins against Ricardo, his reputation in the F1 world will skyrocket.
■ Daniel Ricardo (AlphaTauri)
“I’m happy to be back. As always with the Red Bull family, you have to jump in when you hear the call.”
“The transition to AlphaTauri went smoothly. I was back in Faenza last week. The factory has changed a lot since I last raced for this team 10 years ago, but there are still many familiar faces and I feel at home as we prepare for the upcoming races.”
“When I drove the Red Bull in the tire test last week at Silverstone, everything felt very normal. I’m going to drive the AlphaTauri car as it is and then work on it. I don’t want to be too biased. If the car feels balanced, I think I can work with it. Jumping in the car and going straight out is a challenge, but I’m looking forward to it.”
“I’m also looking forward to using my experience to develop the car. Ultimately, I just want to have fun in Budapest, use my right foot more than my left foot, and have a good time!”
“It’s important to find your rhythm on this circuit, because there are so many corners combined. If the car is balanced, you can really enjoy it.”
