The recovery is going well. We&#8217;ve got some simulator work planned before a return. And I think from our side and his side, there&#8217;s no rush to get him back too early. The worst thing would be to come back before it&#8217;s properly healed and cause any issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are five races after Qatar, all in the Americas before the final round in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p>Eddolls said the simulator work would provide a good fitness test.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the final decision is more than likely going to come from him rather than from us. He will know better than anyone how&#8217;s the pain, how&#8217;s the recovery,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The focus is on him making a full recovery so that when he comes back, it&#8217;s not a point that&#8217;s even talked about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.co.uk\/f1\/story\/_\/id\/38461214\/alphatauri-say-daniel-ricciardo-return-away\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Ricciardo&rsquo;s return to the Formula One starting grid may still be some way off as the Australian driver recovers from a<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/sport\/alphatauri-say-daniel-ricciardos-return-still-a-while-away\/23\/09\/2023\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[530,427,26,664],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":818,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816\/revisions\/818"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
