Daniel Ricciardo is officially back. Due to the multiple grid penalties incurred by the drivers, he will start from P-5 after putting his McLaren in P-8 in Q3. His teammate, Lando Norris, starts on P-3.

Daniel Ricciardo feeling confident going into the weekend
Ricciardo will be leaving McLaren at the end of the season to make way for Oscar Piastri, the 2021 F2 champion. Ricciardo won the 2021 Italian GP last year, his only win driving the McLaren. Attending the press conference on Friday, he said the win was still fresh in his mind,
"Everything's still there. Look, you know, I don't want to say, yeah, we're going to repeat it this year, but obviously just coming into a circuit with those good feelings and good memories and stuff, it's cool."
Ricciardo further said,
"And as I said, like, take the win away, I've always just come to this track and enjoyed my time here. And it's a circuit that I have fun on."
