Ricciardo back alongside Verstappen in 2025?
"It’s kind of a big picture" Ricciardo said when asked. "it's not something on my mind in respect to where I currently am as well. A long season ahead. The way I get back to the front of the grid is trying to hustle this car as hard as possible. And produce weekends like Mexico. And obviously do that more consistently."
"Then see what happens. But, yeah, sitting here now, it's fully focused on where I'm at and trying to establish myself again. I feel like I started to do that a little bit last year, coming back into the sport" he adds.
"I feel like there are a lot of races this year to try and do that and prove it to myself. Then I’ll see what happens around." Ricciardo said.
