F1 journalist and presenter Lawrence Barretto provided ♚an update on Ricciardo on X, writing: “Sources say Daniel Ricciardo is cracking on with rehab but it might be some time before he returns. 

“He’s remaining upbeat, though. Sensibly, he's waiting to be fully fit before coming back. There's no point rushing, especially as he had impressed ꦅin his first two races back.”

Horner went on to admit t꧟hat Ricciardo may not return to action until the Qatar Grand Prix🦩 in early October. 

”I think🦋 certainly Singapore, I don't🌳 think there's any chance he'll be ready for then," Horner said.

"I think it would be optimistic for Japan.

"But I 🍃think his recovery is going well, he's got obviously mobili🍨ty of the hand, he's into rehabilitation now.

"We've seen with motorcyclists rushing comebacks can sometimes do more damage, so we just want to make sure he'𝓡s fully fit before he gets back in the car."
