Daniel Ricciardo will make his return from injury at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. A spokesperson for his Alpha Tauri team confirmed to BBC Sport that Ricciardo would be back in the car in Austin. Neither Alpha Tauri nor owners Red Bull had previously officially said he would definitely be racing in the US. It will be only Ricciardo’s third race since his return to the grid at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July. Ricciardo – who was dropped by McLaren at the end of 2022, a year before the end of his contract – is already confirmed as an Alpha Tauri driver for 2024.
