One of F1’s staple drivers drums up excitement in Music City.
Daniel Ricciardo is one of F1’s most beloved personalities among fans, and his return to the prestigious series with Team AlphaTauri was highly anticipated, but unfortunately interrupted by an injury. However, Ricciardo is on the cusp of being back again, and the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas is where it will happen. As the Grand Prix approaches, Ricciardo has already generated fanfare in Nashville, Tennessee.
In the renowned Music City, Ricciardo got behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car for the first time since August for a special Red Bull show run to an excited crowd. The car was the RB7, which was famously raced in 2011 by Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, who achieved world titles for Red Bull that season. On Nashville’s iconic Lower Broadway, the crowd was treated to seeing the F1 car do donuts, and in general create quite a spectacle in the famed location.
Despite his injury, Daniel Ricciardo proved himself in simulation runs, and AlphaTauri, like the fans in the Nashville crowd, looks forward to seeing him back on the track for the United States Grand Prix. With an upcoming and anticipated return to the racing world’s most exclusive and venerated stage after racing for teams like Red Bull and McLaren, Daniel Ricciardo is causing a stir with his raucous spectacle behind the wheel of Red Bull’s iconic 2011 F1 car.
