In fact, the Australian fractured his left hand in Zandvoort, missing the same Dutch Grand Prix due to injury and the following ones in Monza, Singapore and Japan. Now, però his return seems to be getting closer.

He confessed it è himself, not hiding the hope of already being on track at the next Grand Prix in Qatar. "I feel that my recovery after the injury is proceeding in the best way", said Ricciardo in fact.

I am aiming to get back behind the wheel and I am looking forward to it. We will definitely know moreù in the coming days".

In his absence, the second AlphaTauri car è has been entrusted to rookie Liam Lawson, a New Zealander born in 2002 who has amazed everyone with his high-level performance as evidenced by the two points he won in Singapore.
