F1 cult hero Daniel Ricciardo will return from injury for this weekend’s United States GP. Ricciardo was handed a second chance by Red Bull’s junior team AlphaTauri following his dismissal by McLaren at the end of last season. Liam Lawson, who has been filling in for Ricciardo, will now step aside as the fan favourite returns. One Ricciardo enthusiast wrote: “Time to show Redbull what he is made off!”. A third added: “And hopefully next season he will be in the Red Bull with Max.”. And Ricciardo hopes to use that as a springboard for a potential return to the Red Bull seat he vacated five years ago.
