Helmut Marko names his "biggest mistake" from dur♏ing his time in F1.
Helmut Marko has named signing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck De Vries his “biggest mistake” as Red Bull’s F1 advisor.
Marko has played a key role at Red Bull since🐟 2005, looking after their junior programme.
The Austrian is often respo༒nsible for deciding which young drivers are signed to the team and who makes their ๊F1 debut with Racing Bulls (formerly AlphaTauri and Toro Rosso).
Following 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly’s decision to leave the team at ꦚthe end of 2022 for Alpine, Red Bull faced a driver shortage.
They refused to gi🐼ve the seat to any of their junior drivers, opting to sign De Vries.
De Vries scored points in his one-off appearance for Williams in place of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix.
However, the Dutchꦡman struggled to perform when given the full-time seat for 2023.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo ultimately replaced him after just 10 races.
“My biggest mistake? No doubt about it, it’s Nyck De Vries,” M🐷arko told Autosprint.
“He did very well ꦕon hiꦍs debut for Williams in Monza. But once he got to AlphaTauri, he didn’t progress.
“He had an incredible track record, FIA F2ཧ champion, also Formula E world champion, but with us the stopwatch said Nyck was the ꧃wrong choice. And in trying to go faster, he made mistakes.”
Marko and Red Bull have learned from their mistakes, opting to promote from with🎀in for F1 2025.
