RB chief Peter Bayer has stated that the team are “not in a hurry” to confirm who will be driving at the team alongside Yuki Tsunoda in 2025, with the CEO admitting that the squad have several options available to them for the seat.

Daniel Ricciardo’s place at the Red Bull sister outfit has come under scrutiny of late, given that the Australian has been outscored so far by Tsunoda in the 2024 campaign. However, Bayer has praised Ricciardo for his influence on the team since joining midway through 2023.

“He certainly has helped us tremendously,” Bayer commented during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend. “Looking back last year when he joined the team, he brought a whole new energy and spirit into the team, and he has been extremely helpful in supporting Yuki.

“Yuki has just stated that very recently, actually, that he still keeps learning from Daniel. And it’s part of our job, also as a mission from the shareholders, to develop drivers, and that’s what we currently do.”
