Danny Ricciardo to replace Nyck De Vries at Alpha Tauri for Hungary in 2 weeks.

It might have been his tire test in the RB19 that clinched the seat:


""Sources say Ricciardo was impressive in today’s Pirelli tyre test with Red Bull, his first drive in 2023 machinery, and that his best lap would have been good enough for the front row of the grid in Sunday’s British Grand Prix,” F1 reporter Lawrence Barretto stated."

"What is not mentioned is which tyre compound that was set on, with Pirelli having brought the C1, C2 and C3 compounds to Silverstone, meaning there were two more grippy compounds in their range, the C4 and C5, which Ricciardo could have potentially used to clock that lap."
