As Formula 1 gears up for the United States Grand Prix, Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo has conveyed a message of hope and encouragement to Red Bull junior Liam Lawson, asserting that “his time will come.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricciardo, who returned to F1 action with AlphaTauri earlier in the season, shared his sentiments about Lawson’s promising career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricciardo began the 2023 F1 season as Red Bull’s reserve driver before making a comeback to a race seat with AlphaTauri in preparation for the Hungarian Grand Prix in July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, his return to the track was short-lived, with a broken hand sustained in a practice crash at the Dutch Grand Prix sidelining him for the last five races. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his absence, Red Bull junior Liam Lawson filled his shoes and made an impressive impact, securing AlphaTauri’s best result of the season with a ninth-place finish in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about Lawson’s performance during his absence, Ricciardo responded affirmatively, stating, “Yes. One does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe did a very good job.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressed further to elaborate on his view, the 34-year-old driver offered a more detailed assessment, saying, “He did a great job, for sure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of Lawson’s uncertain status for the upcoming season, Ricciardo emphasised that the young driver has a bright future ahead of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In terms of him currently not having a seat next year, I think it’s one of those ones where he’s young. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it’s not like he’s at the end of his career; he’s very much in the early part of his career, so just keep persisting, keep your head down,” Ricciardo advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricciardo praised Lawson for creating opportunities for himself and expressed his confidence in the Kiwi driver’s future prospects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
