Daniel Ricciardo<\/a> will jump into the cockpit of a Formula 1<\/a> car once more after confirming he will complete a Pirelli tyre test for Red Bull at Silverstone in July.<\/p>\n

Ricciardo was announced as the team's third driver for this season after he was paid out of his contract with McLaren<\/a> to make way for fellow Australian Oscar Piastri<\/a><\/p>\n

Keeping in line with F1's restrictions around in-season testing, Ricciardo has largely been completing simulator work, as well as assisting with commercial activities and driver development.<\/p>\n

However, the eight-time grand prix winner will get behind the wheel of the RB19 during a rare testing opportunity.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I've been in the simulator, but I will drive the RB19 in July after the Silverstone race \u2013 I'm getting a Pirelli test," Ricciardo told ESPN.<\/p>\n

"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."<\/p>\n

Ricciardo said he was eager to make the most of the event by showing off his potential.<\/p>\n

"I'm certainly excited to drive a fast car, but also a car that maybe still feels familiar for me \u2013 it does a little bit in the sim," he said.<\/p>\n

"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."<\/p>\n

During the season, the teams are restricted to a limited amount of testing on the current generation of F1 cars. This includes two promotional events and two demonstration events.<\/p>\n

Ricciardo will trial the full range of Pirelli tyres, gathering valuable data concerning tyre windows and degradation.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old has previously stated his intentions to return to the F1 grid in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n
