Daniel Ricciardo will make a sensational return to front-line Formula 1 racing at the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix, with the Australian set to replace Nyck de Vries at the AlphaTauri team for the rest of the season.

I think AT could prove hes worthy of an RB seat. With Alex showing his worth at Williams there could be a few contenders though.

No way that will ever happen. Red bull would rather wait to grab a younger star like Leclerc or Norris. This is just a convenient way to put more pressure on Perez.

I don't think more pressure on Perez will actually produce results. If they want constructor points Red Bull might want to consider taking the bananas risk of producing a car that both their drivers can drive at full tilt.

I just don't see it happening at AT. The car is a backmarker and Yuki is not exactly a top tier benchmark. Put DR in that Williams and we might have a better chance to see something special from him.

Sincerely hope to be wrong though!
