"Ricciardo has been clear about his desire to return to the F1 grid – with a seat at sister team AlphaTauri, with whom Ricciardo drove for two seasons in their Toro Rosso guise, believed to be a potential option."
According to the official website of Formula 1, Daniel Ricciardo said, “I’m definitely still in like a really good place – I’m very happy with this. Does it mean that I’m happy doing this for the next two or three years? Probably not. But I think for this year it’s certainly a good thing for me."
He further stated, “Right now, I do want to get back on the grid next year. I do feel like there’s certainly some unfinished business. I’m staying in the loop and staying prepared.” (ANI)
