Red Bull to give Daniel Ricciardo tyre test to ‘evaluate his pace’ and ‘keep options open’

Despite Red Bull’s strong position in the Drivers’ and Constructors’ standings, the team remains committed to exploring all available options, including their reserve driver.

“Ricciardo’s initial target was two to three years, which is more than he planned anyway, and we just have to keep our options open for the future,” Marko added.

The opportunity for Ricciardo to drive the RB19 will provide valuable insights for Red Bull, allowing them to assess his pace and performance compared to their current lineup. As the team evaluates their options for the future, they remain focused on maintaining their success in the current season while keeping an eye on potential succession plans.
