'If I was to be back on the grid in 2024, this has the biggest upside in terms of I know I’ll be a better version of myself.' –– danielricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo knows there’s the possibility that these two final Formula One races on the 2022 calendar could be his final ones of his career if his gamble of waiting for a ‘24 seat doesn’t pan out. after the Woking-based team brought on Oscar Piastri as his replacement. And although the 2023 grid has not been completely confirmed with Haas having one seat open, Ricciardo is interested in a reserve driver role for next season.
“I think Daniel is speaking to a few teams about a potential role, also Red Bull,” Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff toldduring the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend. “For us, we very much like him, he’s a great character but we are not in a position yet who is going to be our third driver.”“But if I was to be back on the grid in 2024, this has the biggest upside in terms of I know I’ll be a better version of myself,” Ricciardo said Thursday, per.
When looking at his next chapter, Ricciardo said he’s wanting a balance. Next year’s calendar currently has a 24-race slate, starting with Bahrain on March 5 and ending Nov. 26 in Abu Dhabi, and the Australian pointed out how the grid does not get much time during the chaos of the season “to train on a physical side.”
“If I’ve got more time to myself, I’m sure I can get into better shape. Not that it’s something that’s held me back but just in terms of perfecting some things, it’s even having time off to work on myself,” Ricciardo said, perHe did later add that “there is nothing like car fitness at this level” because “the forces you go through in an F1 car, you can’t simulate it.” Ricciardo is an eight-time grand prix winner and the only McLaren driver to win an F1 race in the last decade.
