Horner reckons Red Bull will provide Ricciardo with the environment to “rediscover his enjoyment of being a Formula 1 driver” following his tough stint at McLaren. “But Daniel is such a great personality and big character,” Horner added. “We felt it was right to bring him back into the team – and of course promotionally, he's got the biggest smile in Formula 1.
