Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner hopes that Daniel Ricciardo’s time with the team in 2023 will help him rediscover his “passion” for the sport, but says his team currently have no plans to offer the Australian racer a full-time race seat.

紅牛領(lǐng)隊(duì)霍納希望，在2023年里，回歸紅牛后的里卡多能重拾對(duì)F1的熱情。但也同時(shí)透露，車(chē)隊(duì)目前無(wú)意在將來(lái)給澳大利亞車(chē)手一個(gè)正式席位。

“I think that Daniel had fallen out of love a little bit with Formula 1. He’s had a couple of really tough seasons, particularly [in 2022]. For him to play a supporting role to the race drivers, as our third driver, both back here in the factory and at events with all the commercial partners we have – as one of the most recognisable faces currently in and around Formula 1, for us it made a lot of sense.”

“我覺(jué)得丹尼爾多少對(duì)F1有點(diǎn)失去興趣了，他前幾個(gè)賽季很不容易，尤其是2022年。這次的重新聚首對(duì)我們并不意外。作為車(chē)隊(duì)的三號(hào)車(chē)手，同時(shí)也是F1圈子里目前最受歡迎的人之一，他能給我們的正式車(chē)手提供不少幫助，不管是在研發(fā)層面，還是同商業(yè)伙伴的合作活動(dòng)中。

He continued: “And I hope in the process, Daniel will rediscover his passion for Formula 1, but we certainly have no plans to utilise him other than in that third driver role, to combine with the commercial activities that he will be performing.”

霍納繼續(xù)說(shuō)到：“我希望在合作的過(guò)程中，他能夠重拾對(duì)于F1的激情。但我們可以肯定的是，除了作為需要承擔(dān)商業(yè)活動(dòng)任務(wù)的三號(hào)車(chē)手外，我們對(duì)他沒(méi)有更多的計(jì)劃?！?/p>

Horner also provided insight into what Ricciardo will be doing for the reigning constructors’ champions this year, revealing that while his responsibilities will include a lot of work at the factory, fans could expect to see him around the paddock in 2023.

關(guān)于里卡多新賽季的職責(zé)，霍納還透露，雖然絕大多數(shù)時(shí)間里，澳洲人的工作主要會(huì)集中在工廠里，但車(chē)迷們肯定也有機(jī)會(huì)在2023賽季的圍場(chǎng)里發(fā)現(xiàn)他的身影。

“Daniel will be attending some races,” said Horner. “Obviously, he will be our reserve driver for those events. He will probably do some tyre testing for us to help out with the Pirelli programme that gets distributed around the teams. He will be doing some work in the simulator. So he will be doing more of those activities.”

“丹尼爾會(huì)參加一部分比賽周末，”霍納說(shuō)，“在那些比賽里，他自然是我們的替補(bǔ)車(chē)手。他也許會(huì)在車(chē)隊(duì)接到的倍耐力測(cè)試任務(wù)里出場(chǎng)，除此以外，還有些模擬器測(cè)試。他會(huì)參與很多這些活動(dòng)的?！?/p>
