The decision leaves Liam Lawson, who has deputized for the injured Ricciardo, in a reserve role for 2024 despite an impressive cameo.
When Ricciardo agreed to join AlphaTauri 10 races into this season, replacing the struggling Nyck de Vries, it was always a decision with the long game in mind.Driving the slowest car on the grid wasn’t going to provide the kind of competitive satisfaction that had been lacking for most of his two-year stint at McLaren. But it did offer a path back towards a front-running car.
Ricciardo now has the platform he needs to stake a claim to replace Sergio Pérez at Red Bull for 2025. It’s up to him to convince the team he quit so sensationally in 2018 that he’s ready to return.While this has been Tsunoda’s worst year on pure results, picking up just three points from a trio of 10th-place finishes, his performances have been better than ever.
Lawson will return to his reserve role for both Red Bull and AlphaTauri next year but is set to attend all the F1 races as part of the role. He admitted Thursday in Japan that he “wouldn’t be happy” to go back to a reserve role, but Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team principal, said Friday in Japan that Lawson would “have plenty on his plate with other stuff to do.”
