Daniel Ricciardo’s hangout with Christian Horner clan fuels speculation on Sergio Perez’s F1 future

In the latter half of the F1 season, significant rumors speculated about the potential replacement of Sergio Perez. These speculations were fueled by the ongoing struggles during the races and Daniel Ricciardo’s impressive recovery after a collision.

However, Horner swiftly put an end to the rumours by publicly addressing the situation. Despite the clarification, the rumors resurfaced when Daniel was spotted spending social time with Horner, reigniting speculation about the driver lineup for the upcoming races.

Daniel Ricciardo’s social time with the Horners

Daniel Ricciardo’s return to the Formula One scene has added significant weight to the competitive landscape, especially for the Mexican driver, Sergio Perez. Despite Perez’s commitment to maintaining his second position in the Drivers’ Standings even after colliding with McLaren’s Lando Norris at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, rumours have circulated suggesting that the growing bond between Red Bull and Team Principal Christian Horner and Ricciardo could pose a threat position within the team as the duo was seen together in Dubai, spending their holidays together with their potential partners.

Despite Ricciardo currently driving for the AlphaTauri team, he openly expressed his hope to return to Red Bull once their contract ends. In response to the speculations about the replacement earlier, Christian swiftly dismissed the rumours by saying, “He (Ricciardo) firmly wants to be pitching for that 2025 Red Bull seat. That’s his goal and objective. By going to AlphaTauri, I think he sees that as his best route for stating his case for 2025.”

Ricciardo faces embarrassment as critical error revealed before US GP weekend

After Daniel’s speedy recovery, the Australian decided to have a huge comeback at the United States Grand Prix. However, he was soon struck with a disappointing welcome as an embarrassing incident unfolded at the Circuit of Americas.

Accurate spelling of a driver’s name is of utmost importance, irrespective of its pronunciation challenges. Failing to get a driver’s name right is not only a matter of basic respect but also reflects a lack of attention to detail and professionalism in the world of motorsports.

Above the Australian driver’s AlphaTauri garage, there was an error in the spelling of his surname. An embarrassing revelation on social media showcased that event organizers have misspelled his name as “RICCARDO” instead of “RICCIARDO.”
