Red Bull’s third driver will take a showcar for a spin on September 9 alongside “legendꦍary greats of motorsport on two and four wheels” and “young racing talents”.

Ricciardo’s 💝first appearance in a Red Bull was taking a showcar for a run before the F1 Australian Grand Prix, his home race.

His latest confirmed appearance is a part of the Red Bull Formula Nurburgring 🉐festival.

The veteran driver is due t♛o appear at a small nuꦦmber of grands prix this season, and might complete a tyre test too.

Ricciardo opted to take a role as Red Bull’s third driver rather than entertain offers to remain ꦦas a full-time F1 driver, after McLaren confirmed their int𓃲ention to replace him.

“For many years I truly believed I was the best, and I am the best in the world, so whatever the situation, I’ll be able to overcome 🌼it.

“And obv♎iously with McLaren it was tough for ♏me to do that.

“I was aware that I’m not the perfect driver, I do have weaknesses. So I’🍰ll al🐻ways hold something on to myself.

“Hav൩ing a bit of a chance to remove myself from it and now looking back on the last two years, I would have done things differently if I had that time again - maybe ask more questions or been a little bit more demanding.

“But you also live and you learn, so𒈔 I don’t look back with regret. That was a situation and I got through it.”
