Marko: Horner wasn’t sold on De Vries, is being proven right
Helmut Marko says Christian Horner wasn't in favour of signing Nyck de Vries, and feels the Red Bull F1 boss "looks right at the moment".
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko says its main Formula 1 outfit’s boss Christian Horner wasn’t convinced about signing Nyck de Vries to AlphaTauri – and feels Horner is currently being proven right.
After his performance in Monza I was expecting better results from DEV. His qualifying times are okay, that AT just looks slow on Saturday, but he just doesn't seem to have the race pace on any track. Tsunoda generally seems to at least sometimes be able to squeeze results out of the car while De Vries stagnates.
It’s a shame. So many good results in other fields but just isn’t getting it in F1. I’m really glad to see Tsunoda step up to the plate and bring that AT into the points as a leader of the team. Also, still love hearing his hothead attitude on the radio!
I hope for Nyck he at least gets to drive Zandvoort. He is performing like ass though so that might be a long shot...
I don't think they're going to sack him mid-season. It's given RB/AT a bad name already, they're not going to risk it again I reckon.
Well Marko is a straight shooter but the fact that he has come and said this adds ridiculous pressure on de vries
