Ricciardo teases future drive with Red Bull champ

Retired Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo has suggested he might consider a one-off racing return at the 24 Hours of Le Mans rather than a full-season comeback. While speaking on the Beyond The Grid podcast, Ricciardo identified his former Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen as a preferred candidate to drive alongside him. Both The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Ricciardo teasing fans with this potential future drive.

Max Verstappen told reporters at the Mexican Grand Prix that a Le Mans entry with Ricciardo could be appealing, though he noted he currently lacks the free time to dedicate to such a project due to his Formula One commitments. Verstappen stated that if he were to participate, he would want to do so with the preparation necessary to properly challenge for a victory against those who compete for the entire season.
