Daniel Ricciardo will miss the Italian Grand Prix as a result of the broken hand he sustained in an accident at Zandvoort on Friday. Australian Ricciardo crashed his Alpha Tauri at the banked Hugenholz corner during the second practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix. On Sunday, Ricciardo posted an updateexternal-link on his Instagram account from his hospital bed in Barcelona, having been ruled out of race action. The 34-year-old Ricciardo returned to the grid in July as a replacement for Dutchman Nyck de Vries, who was dropped by Alpha Tauri following a disappointing run of results. On that basis, Ricciardo may well try to return in time for this year’s Singapore race on 15-17 September.
