Though he is happy to simply hang around the paddock and help Red Bull in any way, he now wants to end his break and get back in F1. Speaking to Speedcafe, Ricciardo said:“I’m hanging out just to drive in general. I’ve had enough of a break now where I’ve got ants in my pants, in a positive way. But of course, it’s a phenomenal car and I’m excited to feel it round here, and on such a high-speed circuit as well.”Junaid #JB17@JunaidSamodien_Ricciardo: "I’ve got to get these ants out of my pants now – I’m hanging out to drive!"Ricciardo: "I’ve got to get these ants out of my pants now – I’m hanging out to drive!"The Honey Badger added:“Yeah of course (I miss it), this is my favorite part of the race weekend – the build-up part to the race. When you’re about 10-15 minutes out, it’s really awesome and the grid gets packed, it’s a bit of a zoo and it’s chaos but it’s kind of a fun chaos." "So I do miss it, but it’s all good. I’m letting it all happen as it comes and I have confidence I’ll be back on the grid at some point. Obviously, I’m not 100% sure of it, but I’m confident it will happen again one day.”There have been debates about Ricciardo and how he could replace rookie Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri and even Sergio Perez, who has been struggling quite a lot at Red Bull. Only time will tell where Daniel Ricciardo will head next.
