Ricciardo teases future drive with Red Bull champ

Retired Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo has teased the possibility of a future drive at Le Mans alongside former Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen. Speaking on the Beyond The Grid podcast, Ricciardo suggested he might consider a one-off return to racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans rather than a full-season comeback, naming Verstappen as a preferred teammate.

Max Verstappen told reporters at the Mexican Grand Prix that a Le Mans entry with Ricciardo could appeal, but only if there was sufficient preparation to challenge for a victory. The Dutchman stated that his current Formula One commitments and other projects leave him with little free time to dedicate to an endurance racing project at this moment. He noted that to compete against those racing the entire season, he would require proper preparation to have a genuine chance to win.
