Daniel Ricciardo will make a sensational return to front-line Formula 1 racing at the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix, with the Australian set to replace Nyck de Vries at the AlphaTauri team for the rest of the season.

Wow, did not see this coming. I know he hasn't performed at Yuki's level yet, but given De Vries' previous achievements I would assume that he would eventually adapt. Feels like something must have gone sour internally between him and the team to get chucked out before the summer break.

I didn't see De Vries being replaced so soon, but you've been living under a Ric if you didn't hear about the short leash Marko was giving him. His clock started ticking ages ago and he hasn't shown anything since then.
