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.

红牛领队霍纳希望，在2023年里，回归红牛后的里卡多能重拾对F1的热情。但也同时透露，车队目前无意在将来给澳大利亚车手一个正式席位。

“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.”

“我觉得丹尼尔多少对F1有点失去兴趣了，他前几个赛季很不容易，尤其是2022年。这次的重新聚首对我们并不意外。作为车队的三号车手，同时也是F1圈子里目前最受欢迎的人之一，他能给我们的正式车手提供不少帮助，不管是在研发层面，还是同商业伙伴的合作活动中。

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.”

霍纳继续说到：“我希望在合作的过程中，他能够重拾对于F1的激情。但我们可以肯定的是，除了作为需要承担商业活动任务的三号车手外，我们对他没有更多的计划。”

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.

关于里卡多新赛季的职责，霍纳还透露，虽然绝大多数时间里，澳洲人的工作主要会集中在工厂里，但车迷们肯定也有机会在2023赛季的围场里发现他的身影。

“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.”

“丹尼尔会参加一部分比赛周末，”霍纳说，“在那些比赛里，他自然是我们的替补车手。他也许会在车队接到的倍耐力测试任务里出场，除此以外，还有些模拟器测试。他会参与很多这些活动的。”
