TL;DR Summary

Daniel Ricciardo will replace Nyck de Vries at the AlphaTauri team for the remainder of the Formula 1 season, starting from the Hungarian Grand Prix. Ricciardo, currently Red Bull's third driver, impressed during a recent test at Silverstone. De Vries has struggled in his first full-time F1 season, and AlphaTauri hopes Ricciardo's experience as an eight-time Grand Prix winner will benefit the team. Ricciardo previously drove for AlphaTauri, then known as Toro Rosso, in 2012 and 2013 before moving to Red Bull. His first race back will be at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he secured his second F1 victory in 2014.
