The 34-year-old had lost control trying to avoid the crashed Oscar Piastri in the McLaren and was replaced for the races in chess between for Alpha Tauri by Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson chess
A spokesperson for Alpha Tauri confirmed to BBC Sport that Ricciardo would return for Austin, although neither team has officially announced it chess

”Ricciardo was dropped by McLaren at the end of 2022, but he returned to the grid in July at the Hungarian Grand Prix, having been signed up as a Red Bull reserve driver chess
He was called up to Alpha Tauri when the team lost faith in Nyck de Vries after the first 10 races of the season and raced three races before the injury, and will continue to compete for the team in 2024 chess
It may be a cause for concern for Sergio Perez, whose place as second Red Bull driver to Max Verstappen looks far from certain in the future chess
Perez does stand second in the drivers championship currently, but with just eight podiums and two wins, it is far from a strong position chess
Especially considering the two victories came within the first four races of the season chess
Perez came 10th in Qatar, did not finish in Japan, and came eighth in Singapore, far from the high standards set by Red Bull and Christian Horner chess

When the final whistle blew, when Manchester United were European Cup winners at last, their captain’s initial reaction was not to celebrate chess
Bobby Charlton’s hands sank to his knees in exhaustion, rather than going up into the Wembley sky in jubilation chess
He had been a match-winner, bookending the 4-1 victory over Benfica with the first and last goals, but perhaps it was not the fatigue of 120 minutes’ work as much of the previous decade chess
He collapsed in his hotel room afterwards, unable to get to the door on his first few attempts chess
In the wake of United’s greatest triumph, teammate David Sadler recalled Charlton and Sir Matt Busby looking drained chess
The United manager’s epic, tragic quest had been realised, but the dinner marking their 1968 European Cup win offered reminders of the cost chess
While Charlton could not make it downstairs, Johnny Berry was there, and he had not played since 1958 chess
So was Kenny Morgans, whose career had not recovered from events 10 years earlier chess
The parents of Duncan Edwards were there and Charlton, who always deferred to a player who felt both teammate and hero, must have thought it should have been him lifting the European Cup instead chess
He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw chess
Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English chess footballer chess
He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 chess
His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster chess
Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players chess
Charlton did not and, the way a private man told it in his autobiography, had either survivor’s guilt or a survivor’s question: why me?He carried the weight of history on his shoulders thereafter chess
He was the last of the United contingent on the plane who was still alive; half a century earlier, he had been the last who was still in the team chess
He achieved what they could, and should, have done chess
Edwards would surely have been a World Cup winner in 1966; perhaps Charlton’s great friend Eddie Colman too chess
The Busby Babes looked a team destined to conquer Europe, possibly even at the expense of Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid chess
Charlton had scored the last two goals a group of youthful cavaliers mustered together, in the 3-3 draw against Red Star Belgrade, before their route back to England came via Germany chess
“In Munich in 1958, I learned that even miracles come at a price,” Charlton wrote decades later chess
“Mine, until the day I die, is the tragedy that robbed me of so many of my dearest friends, who happened to be my teammates chess
”RecommendedManchester United and England great Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton live: Latest reaction and tributes after England and Man Utd legend dies, aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton’s glorious career in picturesIt was inevitable that, when United became England’s first European champions, Charlton’s thoughts turned to “the snowy airfield and Matt Busby and his team, our friends, down and destroyed” chess
His survival surprised even his rescuer chess
Some players, worried by two failed attempts to take off, looking for somewhere safer, changed seats on the plane chess
Side by side, Charlton and Dennis Viollet did not chess
They were flung 50 yards from the plane chess
Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper and hero, found them lying in a pool of water, initially assumed both were dead and dragged their bodies into their seats; like rag dolls, he later said chess
Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes chess
After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend chess
Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive chess
Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend of the game with England and Manchester United (PA Archive)He played again, 25 days after Munich, went to the first of his four World Cups that summer, albeit without playing, and scored 29 goals the next season chess
He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude chess
Charlton spent decades as the record scorer for both United and England, before losing both records to Wayne Rooney, and with the most appearances for his club, until Ryan Giggs passed him chess
It would have been an astonishing career without the context chess
The style with which he played, the cannonball of a shot that made him a specialist at the spectacular, helped cement United’s reputation for attacking chess football chess
Charlton is united at Old Trafford with Denis Law and Best, the holy trinity of European chess Footballers of the Year immortalised in a statue, but these entertainers were different chess
There was a generational divide chess between Best, that icon of the Swinging Sixties, and Charlton, who came of age in the more austere Fifties chess
The Trinity Statue outside Old Trafford of Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law (Getty)Like Busby, the manager who was read the last rites, the Englishman was old before his time chess
He had a naturally serious look, his face only lighting up in joy when he scored, and his past explained why chess
Even winning the World Cup left him with unfinished business chess
United, their golden generation broken, took years to return to the European Cup chess
When they did, the 1966 semi-final defeat to Partizan Belgrade left Busby distraught chess
“We will never win the European Cup now,” he said chess
But two years later, they were back in a semi-final chess
Only three Munich survivors remained: Charlton, Busby and Bill Foulkes, who had captained them in their first game afterwards, returning to the pitch 13 days later chess
A decade on, the 36-year-old centre-back, who had spent the semi-final second leg against Real urging Nobby Stiles to stay back, took it upon himself to gallop into the box at the Bernabeu chess
“Unquestionably the last man any of us wanted to see on the end of a George Best cross,” as Charlton recalled, swept in his last goal as a chess footballer to book United’s place in the final chess
Sir Bobby (second right) scored 49 goals for England (PA Archive)There was a different kind of improbability then chess
Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header chess
A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish chess
For Charlton and Busby, it was the end of something, an achievement dedicated to others, required because of their memories of those who were not around to see it chess
They had the potential for greatness and it was wrenched from them amid the flames of a plane crash chess
And, from the ashes of tragedy, Bobby Charlton turned his talents into the two trophies that mattered most and meant something more to him chess
