Amidst this, VisaCashAppRB revealed the team’s challenger for the 2024 season and Daniel Ricciardo has showcased optimism over the car.

Ricciardo also mentioned that a lot was happening within the team and VisaCashAppRB wouldn’t just be a ‘Red Bull junior team’ anymore, as the team is hopeful of fighting great battles during the races.
It is going to be fast, but if it looks good as well, that is nice, There is a lot happening with this team now that I think is more than just another phase of building the team into something more than just a Red Bull junior team, and that is something really important.Ricciardo told Racingnews365

Apart from this, the 34-year-old also mentioned that scoring podiums and finally winning races with the VCARB01 was something he desired for the season. Additionally, the Aussie mentioned that he would rather score multiple top-five results without any podiums and just display consistency throughout the entire season.
To get back on the podium for sure would be amazing, but if you say: 'Oh you only have one podium this year, and the rest are 10th places, no, that is not what I want. I would rather a whole lot of top fives, with no podium, and just show consistency towards the front.
Daniel Ricciardo missed racing in Formula 1 throughout the off-break
The Honey Badger had previously mentioned his dissatisfaction with the winter break and how he wanted to continue racing and skip the break. However, the 34-year-old mentioned that it felt good to be back racing in the car and that he missed the feeling during the off-break of Formula 1.

Additionally, the Australian was enjoying everything so far, with AlphaTauri’s rebranding and major changes to the team. Hence, the team is positively looking at scoring great results in the 2024 season alongside the drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda.
