It features as part of t🍌he Nurburgring 12 Hours event.

Ricciardo had been teed up to drive aﷺn old Red Bull car at ♔the event earlier this year, while his role was still as a third driver for F1’s dominant team.

Since then, he has returned full-time for Red Bull’🥃s sister team AlphaTꦰauri.

But, a broken hand ওsuffered last weekend will rule him out of this weekend’s F1 Italian Grand Prix and much of Septemb♈er too.

While Liam Lawson is deputising for Ricciardo in the AlphaTauri, it is fo✃rmer Red Bull driver Coulthard who received the call-up for the Nurburgring.

Coulthard had jokingly applied to replace Ricciardo at this weeken💜d’s F1 grand prix.

“Dear Christian Horner, please read my PowerPoint for why I should be Daniel’s reserve driver,” read his social media post entitled 🧜‘Whꦚy I should be Daniel’s reserve driver’.

It claimed “I am♊ quick on track, I did get Red Bull’s first podium, the engineers and I alrea🦹dy get along, this would make me the 7th oldest ever F1 driver”.

Instead, Coulthard must🐼 settle fo🌠r a feature appearance.
