Daniel Ricciardo is making a surprising return to Formula 1 and will drive for Red Bull’s sister team Alpha Tauri for the rest of the season.
The 34-year-old Australian, who was released by McLaren last year, will race at the Hungarian Grand Prix on 23 July.
He replaces Nyck de Vries, who has been dropped after only 10 races. Ricciardo, who has won eight grands prix, rejoined Red Bull as a reserve driver at the beginning of this season.
Ricciardo took part in a tyre test for Red Bull at Silverstone on Tuesday, two days after De Vries finished last in the British Grand Prix.
