Ricciardo, who is serving as Red Bull’s reserve driver this season after losi🅠ng his McLaren drive, recently admitted that finishing his F1 career at the team he left at the end of 2018 would be a “fairytale”. 

The Australian won seven of his eight grand prix victories with Red Bull between 2014 and 2018 and has been tipped to rejoin 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen amid 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s recent form struggles. 

But asked whether he could eventually foresee Ricciardo returning to Red Bull🐬, H๊orner seemed to rule out the scenario. 

"It’s not something that we’re planning, that’s for certain,” Horner said after S🎃unday’s British Grand Prix. 

“It was right to give him the opportun𝓡ity this year to remain within the team and keep him around the sport. I think it would have been a loss to the sport just to see him disappear.” 

Ricciardo is determined to secure a full-time return to F1 next year and told ltxcn.top that he would be willing to drive for AlphaTauri if it168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: “crea🌊ted a path” back to the se﷽nior team.

The 34-year-old will get behind the wheel of a Red Bull F1 car for the first time since his departure from the team when he d♍rives the RB19 during a Pirelli tyre test at Silverstone, which be𝕴gins on Tuesday. 

“It’s an important test for Pirelli but it’s also going to be g🐎reat seeing him where ൲he’s at, both on pace and mentally, physically and to get his feedback on this car as well,” Horner said. 

“So I think it’s a good opportunity for him to get back behind a wheel of a car that’s just won the ཧBritish Grand Pri𒉰x.”
