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.

De Vries doesn't have any significant achievements when you actually look at the details of the F2 and FE championships he won. He's just not a good driver.

Why even give him a seat in the first place then? The guy got 9th place last year in a Williams.
