Daniel Ricciardo will feature in the AlphaTauri for the remainder of the Formula 1 season. The Australian Red Bull driver will take over the seat from Nyck de Vries who did not perform well enough this season. Although the Italian racetrack's car does not seem competitive, Ricciardo is confident that the car will do well.
"I appreciate the car is going to have its limitations, I’m sure they are just lacking some overall downforce and things like this, but I think if it’s a car that feels balanced, it might not have as much as grip as the Red Bull I drove a couple of days ago, but if feels relatively balanced, then, that’s something I can work with," Ricciardo said in an interview with Formula 1.

"I’m looking forward to also developing it and using my experience. But ultimately, for Budapest, it’s just go out have fun, just try and use more right foot than left. Have a good time," Ricciardo told.
