Daniel Ricciardo’s chances of signing a Formula 1 contract in 2024 are increasing. AlphaTauri CEO Peter Bayer said the team needed an experienced rider in the lineup, and Daniel is right for the role.
Peter Bayer: “I believe we cannot afford to raise only young riders. In addition, we must be competitive. To compete in Formula 1 at a competitive level, you have to exploit the potential of both cars. To do this, the team needs one experienced and one young rider. This is the line-up I’m looking for: an experienced and young rider.
A young rider will be able to learn more from an experienced rider, and an experienced rider will help the team. For example, Daniel helped us a lot in setting up the car. We need feedback not only from a young rider, but also from an experienced rider.”
Peter Bayer spoke very well about Liam Lawson, among other things. For example, he gave rise to talk that the New Zealander could replace Yuki Tsunoda next season.
“Honestly, Liam is amazing,” Bayer continues. – In Zandvoort he had the worst possible opening conditions. It was raining, the track conditions were constantly changing, but he did very well.
I really like how professional Liam is at solving problems and he is very calm behind the wheel. He received feedback from the engineers and improved with each lap. This progress is impressive.”
