Daniel Ricciardo has repeatedly emphasized that he is very happy with the decision to skip this season, also because he has time to do things that he did not have time for before. At the same time, he regularly attends races, including in the days of the Miami Grand Prix, he served as a reserve racer for Red Bull.
“I’m going to keep fit, but if I really manage to get back to racing next year, suppose my career continues for another five years,” the Australian said in an interview with ESPN. – But then I probably won’t get the chance to do what I want to do. That’s why I planned to do a few things in 2023, just to test myself.
Like running the New York Marathon. Some of my friends did it last year and they really enjoyed it. So now I’m thinking about things that can’t be combined with race performance.
Performance in a marathon must be preceded by special preparation. I run regularly, but only to maintain my health and fitness and not for such long distances. I’m not ready to start a marathon tomorrow, so I still have to train.”
Daniel has not provided any further details, but it must be assumed that he has already signed up to participate in these competitions. Although scheduled for November 5, applications closed in February. However, it can be assumed that if a motorsport star of Ricciardo’s caliber wants to start the New York Marathon, which has been held for more than 50 years, an exception will be made for him.
This marathon is considered the most massive in the world, for example, in 2019, 53,627 participants reached the finish line.
