Daniel Ricciardo was born in Australia, but his personality and passion make him as much an American as he is an Australian. Over the years, he has explored his American side, doing all sorts of American stuff, which has been an absolute treat for all of us! We have seen him in a NASCAR seat, horse riding, and whatnot. All this crossover between F1 and America during the weekends, as we have seen in Miami and Texas, truly makes it a beautiful amalgamation of different cultures. This time, Daniel Ricciardo’s return to America is a bit different.

This time, he had come to New York for the RB19 launch. And though he’d be missing his dream to compete in the Las Vegas GP due to the unavailability of a good seat, his dream of watching the Super Bowl, between Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, would be coming true next week as he extends his resting time away from main F1 action!

“Ricciardo is currently still enjoying his vacation and will also go to the Super Bowl next week. “But then I’ll go back to training,” wrote Motorsport-Total, quoting Daniel Ricciardo.

Daniel Ricciardo’s planned 2023 season

So far, Daniel is only pegged to be running the simulator for Red Bull as well as driving the car for PR activities. On the other hand, he might not get any practice sessions since none are planned so far.

Speaking about racing outside of Red Bull, the Honey Badger revealed, “I don’t want to say I’m sure, but I think there would be some flexibility if there was something I really wanted to do. And if Red Bull participated, it might be a win-win situation,” as quoted by Motorsport-Total.

All this makes it clear that the Aussie will be taking his time this year to reevaluate his career.

The driver also wants to be prepared for all situations in case the need for him to drive arises. He readies himself as he says, “I don’t have any foam in my mouth,” sending out a message to all the drivers and especially the paddock.
