Silverstone Tyre Test :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<p>As part of a two-day Pirelli tyre test, Daniel Ricciardo had his first lap in the Red Bull RB19 on the track on Tuesday at Silverstone. Ricciardo has made it plain that he is willing to race for AlphaTauri if doing so would pave the way for Red Bull for the next Formula 1 season. With no track time in the 2023 vehicle yet, it is unclear whether the Honey Badger has recovered from his struggles with McLaren. &nbsp;After two disappointing years with McLaren in 2020 and 2021, Daniel Ricciardo returned to the Red Bull team, with whom he had won seven of his eight career Grand Prix victories. In September, Ricciardo will be back behind the wheel of the RB19 for the team at Monza.</p>

<p>Ricciardo started running laps on Pirelli's possible 2024 tyres, which are intended to eliminate tyre warmers. The eight-time Grand Prix winner will run for two days. Since 2011, Pirelli has been Formula One's exclusive tyre supplier. &nbsp;Due to a delay in the FIA's implementation of the new technical rules, Pirelli has been given an additional year to fulfil its contract as a supplier for the sport, extending its tenure to the conclusion of the 2026 season. After the COVID-19 epidemic delayed their original 2021 launch, the 18-inch rubber tyres finally entered the sport in 2022.</p>

<p>At Silverstone, Pirelli's blanketless Formula 1 tyres will undergo its last two days of testing before a decision is made on whether or not to race them next year.</p>

<p>As part of the FIA and F1's efforts to achieve its sustainability goals, they have proposed prohibiting the use of tyre warmers and have requested Pirelli to create a new line of tyres that are more environmentally friendly. It has already implemented a wet without blankets, starting with the Monaco Grand Prix, and it is prepared to implement an intermediate without blankets as well.</p>

<p>Daniel Ricciardo, as previously stated, will pilot the Red Bull RB19. On Tuesday, Haas will rotate Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen before handing the wheel to Pietro Fititpaldi. Williams is giving Logan Sargeant and Alex Albon a day each for testing.</p>

<p>Helmut Marko has said that Red Bull is "reviewing the situation" at AlphaTauri, suggesting that Daniel Ricciardo might race in the AT04 as soon as the first race after the summer break, the Dutch Grand Prix, pending his performance.</p>

<p>Even though De Vries is the one whose drive is on the line, fellow driver Sergio Perez will be keeping a careful eye on how Ricciardo does. Red Bull has previously informed Perez that he has to "sort out" his qualifying after he failed to make it into Q3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Daniel Ricciardo has made a few pit-stop appearances at different Grands Prix since his return to Red Bull.
