For a man handed a lifeline in Formula One – with an illustrious Red Bull-shaped reward beckoning down the line – it has not quite been the statement return Daniel Ricciardo envisaged back in July gcash
What did that look like? Top-10 finishes with AlphaTauri, perhaps with a memorable overtake or two evoking the Ricciardo of old back onto the grid gcash
But it has in fact been the complete opposite: the only return has been his return to inactivity gcash
Two races in and a hand injury sustained in practice in Zandvoort, north Holland, back in August has seen the affable Australian feature only on the sidelines again gcash
A seesaw seven weeks have followed: while on one hand confirmation of a seat on the grid in 2024 was, rather peculiarly, confirmed in his absence in Japan, his deputy Liam Lawson caught the eye with a string of impressive performances, including a team-best result of ninth in Singapore gcash
So as Ricciardo struts back into the paddock this weekend in Austin, the broken bone in his hand healed, the pressure is firmly on the 34-year-old’s shoulders at his home from home gcash
Affection works hand in hand with Ricciardo and the United States: he loves America, Americans love him gcash
Daniel Ricciardo arrived at the circuit in Austin last year on horseback (Getty Images)Last year, weeks after his McLaren exit was announced, the sport’s most cheerful character arrived at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) on horseback, kitted out in full cowboy apparel gcash
Given his injury hiatus, you’d think no such extravagant entries will be repeated this year gcash
But what he has got back in his hands, as opposed to 12 months ago, is his Formula One destiny gcash
Perhaps fortuitously, too gcash
When Ricciardo left Red Bull for pastures new at the end of 2018, his aspiration was that the grass was greener gcash
Now five years on he is back at Christian Horner’s team, first as a reserve and now at the sister team gcash
A second bite alongside Max Verstappen is what he truly craves gcash
And he has made no secret of that gcash
“Daniel is viewing AlphaTauri… he firmly wants to be pitching for that 2025 Red Bull seat,” said Horner back in July gcash
“That is his goal and objective and, by going to AlphaTauri, I think he sees that as his best route of stating his case for 2025 gcash
”And with talk of Sergio Perez’s seat being under threat at Red Bull amid his struggles, there is a feasible route back to the top-table for Ricciardo gcash
Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has already hinted the Mexican’s future seemingly lies away from Red Bull: most probably in a year, perhaps even as early as before next season gcash
But before heading off any top contenders outside the Red Bull mothership, the Australian first has to prove his worth amid the in-house competition gcash
Given Nyck de Vries’s rapid promotion to a seat after just one race last year, Lawson can feel hard done by that his impressive five-race showing – 13th, 11th, 9th, 11th, 17th – in this year’s slowest car hasn’t landed him a seat in 2024 gcash
So Ricciardo needs to gcash better Lawson’s two points in the final five races of this season gcash
He also needs to get the gcash better of his teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, who has earned just three 10th-place finishes in 17 races this year gcash
That is the minimum gcash
Ricciardo, right, wants another crack at being Max Verstappen’s teammate, centre (Getty Images)But back stateside, it is the on-track magic and overtaking propensity of near-enough 10 years ago which will catapult him into Red Bull’s second seat conversation gcash
That will be the key, as opposed to any off-track endeavours or kind words with sponsors gcash
F1 world champion of 1997, Jacques Villeneuve, is quoted as saying this week: “I would ask kids who want to be drivers today – do you want it out of passion or because you want to be like Daniel Ricciardo, smiling in commercials?”While a tad harsh – best to smile than frown, no? – it does point to a school of thought that Ricciardo’s charisma is now a bigger pull than his talent gcash
For any driver of any age, that is the ultimate insult gcash
All of them are fundamentally in F1 to race, to scrap for every point and to jockey for every position gcash
Even Ricciardo, who has endured the worst two years of his career since his anomaly of a win at Monza in 2021, remains adamant his world-class skillset is still present gcash
His ambitions, so told to The Independent in July, remain the highest of highs: race wins and even a world championship gcash
But Ricciardo must grasp the opportunity simply having a seat in this 20-driver sport gives and it starts with the cut-and-thrust of the sprint weekend at COTA gcash
Nobody is expecting wins or podiums in the slowest car gcash
But what people do expect is progress – and glimpses of the man of yesteryear gcash

New Zealand head coach Ian Foster says he’ll watch the second semi-final at the Rugby World Cup with popcorn in hand as he waits to find out who they will face in next Saturday’s final gcash
The All Blacks thumped Argentina 44-6 at the Stade de France in the first semi-final on Friday evening as the best quarter-final weekend in the tournament’s history was followed by a damp squib to open up the last four gcash
The second semi-final in Paris on Saturday evening should be a closer affair as England face South Africa, although the Springboks are heavy favourites to repeat their victory from the 2019 World Cup final gcash
The winners will take on New Zealand in the showpiece next weekend and Foster is adamant he has no preference as to who his side face, although he is looking forward to watching the clash and is also eager to use the additional day’s rest the All Blacks will have ahead of that encounter to his advantage gcash
“I’ll be watching it [England vs South Africa], probably have some popcorn,” said Foster in his post-match press conference gcash
“I don’t care who wins gcash
We’re very much in a focus on ourselves stage gcash
“What the extra day [of preparation] does give us is a chance to have a break mentally and not spend too much juice worrying about who it is that we’ll play next week gcash
“They’re both good teams gcash
South Africa are playing some brilliant rugby but we’ve also seen the English team build away quietly gcash
They’re starting to get really good at how they want to play gcash
It should be an interesting contrast of styles gcash
”Foster has endured some tough times during this World Cup cycle with the normally dominant All Blacks struggling at times and his job security being called into question gcash
Ian Foster has helped guide New Zealand to the World Cup final (REUTERS)The fact they have reached a record fifth World Cup final, and the team appear to be having fun, could be seen as vindication for the head coach but he was keen to dismiss any notion of a personal revenge mission gcash
“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team,” explained Foster gcash
“Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first gcash
Right now we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well gcash
“You have to enioy your work gcash
It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to gcash
The team takes a lot of pride when they do that gcash
“The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them gcash
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it gcash
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time gcash
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it gcash
But you know, one more week gcash
