We’ll try our best in the next match dota

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 dota
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 dota
But it has in fact been the complete opposite: the only return has been his return to inactivity dota
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 dota
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 dota
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 dota
Affection works hand in hand with Ricciardo and the United States: he loves America, Americans love him dota
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 dota
Given his injury hiatus, you’d think no such extravagant entries will be repeated this year dota
But what he has got back in his hands, as opposed to 12 months ago, is his Formula One destiny dota
Perhaps fortuitously, too dota
When Ricciardo left Red Bull for pastures new at the end of 2018, his aspiration was that the grass was greener dota
Now five years on he is back at Christian Horner’s team, first as a reserve and now at the sister team dota
A second bite alongside Max Verstappen is what he truly craves dota
And he has made no secret of that dota
“Daniel is viewing AlphaTauri… he firmly wants to be pitching for that 2025 Red Bull seat,” said Horner back in July dota
“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 dota
”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 dota
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 dota
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 dota
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 dota
So Ricciardo needs to dota better Lawson’s two points in the final five races of this season dota
He also needs to get the dota better of his teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, who has earned just three 10th-place finishes in 17 races this year dota
That is the minimum dota
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 dota
That will be the key, as opposed to any off-track endeavours or kind words with sponsors dota
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 dota
For any driver of any age, that is the ultimate insult dota
All of them are fundamentally in F1 to race, to scrap for every point and to jockey for every position dota
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 dota
His ambitions, so told to The Independent in July, remain the highest of highs: race wins and even a world championship dota
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 dota
Nobody is expecting wins or podiums in the slowest car dota
But what people do expect is progress – and glimpses of the man of yesteryear dota
