Daniel Ricciardo's early-season Red Bull auditions have not gone to plan.
Daniel Ricciardo’s dream of a return to Red Bull is not over, with Christian Horner adamant it is “very early” in the season to make that call.
He worked his way up to 12th place but never looked to be in contention for a points finish while Tsunoda, who qualified eighth, brought his VCARB01 home in seventh place to score RB’s first points of the championship. Not for the first time, the eight-time Grand Prix winner insisted his current RB troubles are nothing like his time at McLaren when he was floundering for answers.
“He’s had a tough weekend, haven’t really looked at his race yet but pretty similar pace to Yuki in the race,” Horner said. Pressed on whether Ricciardo’s early-season form has taken him out of the running for the 2025 Red Bull seat, Horner replied: “It is very early in the year to be thinking about that.”
