Daniel Ricciardo: Red Bull reserve driver eyes Formula 1 seat for 2024 - 'I feel there is still unfinished business'

Daniel Ricciardo says he has «unfinished business» in Formula 1 and hopes to remind Red Bull of what he can do when he jumps back in a racing car this summer. The Australian was left without a seat for the 2023 season when his underwhelming two-year stint at McLaren came to an end. Ad Ricciardo eventually returned to Red Bull, where he won seven races as a driver between 2014 and 2018, as a reserve driver to world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
