“The addition of Daniel to our team demonstrates our commitment to moving quickly forward and into the top ranks of the sport. It
also honors the labor completed during the previous two and a half seasons. Unquestionably talented and charismatic, Daniel makes a
significant contribution to the team. We must produce the greatest automobile we can in order to earn back his confidence.”
Cyril Abiteboul, the manager of the Renault Formula 1 team, made those remarks on Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull acquisition 21
months prior. Not even two years have passed.
As the Grand Prix Editor for Autosport, Alex Kalinauckas has covered every Formula 1 event since the beginning of 2020. He covered
national racing as a freelance autosport writer while holding a master’s degree in journalism from Goldsmiths College University of
London in 2014. He also worked for a variety of technology and motorsport magazines.
Alex joined the Autosport team in April 2017 as the magazine’s Assistant Editor covering Formula 2 and GP3. He has been a lifelong
fan of motorsports, and no one in his family can quite explain how or why such a development first occurred. In March 2018, Alex was
promoted to Formula E correspondent and became the Plus Editor of Autosport.com. The Central Line frequently irritates him; he
lives in northeast London.
