Given De Vries' struggles this year it wouldn't surprise me if they swapped seats and put Ricciardo in. It would be great to see Ricciardo back behind the wheel, hopefully he can seize this opportunity and recapture some of the success he had under the Red Bull umbrella.

Daniel Ricciardo says he's going to be driving the RB19 following the British Grand Prix in July.

Daniel Ricciardo has revealed that he is set to get his first taste of the RB19 following July’s British Grand Prix, as part of the Australian’s wide-ranging third driver duties for Red Bull.
Ricciardo returned to Red Bull in a supporting role for 2023 after parting ways with McLaren at the end of the 2022 season, having experienced two rollercoaster campaigns at the Woking team.
Following plenty of simulator sessions and time spent trackside providing back-up to full-time drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, it won't be long before Ricciardo gets back behind the wheel himself.
“I’ve been in the simulator, but I will drive the RB19 in July after the Silverstone race – I’m getting a Pirelli test,” Ricciardo confirmed in an interview with ESPN this week.
“Then maybe I’ll get another one after Monza as well in September. A couple of months away [and] I’ll get to feel what it’s like.”
He continued: “I’m certainly excited to drive a fast car, but also a car that maybe still feels familiar for me – it does a little bit in the sim. But I’m just excited to drive again and to just try to remind a team obviously I once had a lot of success with that I can still turn a fast lap.”

Should be interesting to see how he performs come time to race with all he's saying so far.Daniel Ricciardo says he's going to be driving the RB19 following the British Grand Prix in July.
