what happened to daniel ricciardo in f1

Daniel Ricciardo suffered a broken metacarpal in his left hand in multiple places during a practice session crash at the Dutch Grand Prix in August 2023. He turned into a barrier to avoid hitting the McLaren driven by his fellow Australian Oscar Piastri, who had just crashed and was on the racing line. Ricciardo underwent surgery, requiring screws and a plate, forcing him to miss the last race in Italy. He was initially hoping to return to his Alpha Tauri cockpit in Singapore, but the fracture was more complicated than expected, and he was ruled out of the race.
