AlphaTauri you have to make a decision. Poor rookie performance nyck devries compared to your partner Yuki Tsunoda This could end the patience of the Red Bull ‘B’ team and leave an interesting gap for another driver. AlphaTauri’s philosophy is to serve as a platform for the promotion of young talents from the Red Bull academy to F1, to be a team with access to the ‘Great Circus’ for drivers to learn and grow before trying to make the step up on a winning team like Red Bull. For this reason, Franz Tost, head of AlphaTauri, is clear: he admits that Daniel Ricciardo is an option for the team, but assures that it will only happen if they consider that the young talents of the Red Bull academy are not ready to move up to F1. And it seems so. If so, Ricciardo would be a strong candidate to return to his old team in 2012 and 2013, before his successful jump to Red Bull. First, De Vries will have a chance to hang on to his seat if he improves in the next few races.
“The philosophy is quite clear, the performance decides. Of course, the philosophy of the team is to train young riders. But if the young drivers are not there at the moment, and still on the road… we have some good ones young driver: Iwasa is doing a good job, Hadjar is doing a good job, but it’s too early for them. I can see them soon on our team, but if the time is too early for them, we may have to find another solution. But it has not been discussed until now.”argued Franz Tost.

However, to that list we must add Liam Lawson, shining in Japanese Super Formula with a good second position. In addition, he did some free practice sessions last year: “Liam did a great job when he drove for us last year in Abu Dhabi and he is currently doing a great job in Japan because it’s a pretty tough championship there.”argument.
“As I said, it’s a question of performance. We have to find out, we have to see which driver is, first of all, who is available and old enough and sufficiently trained and ready for a Formula 1 car.. As of now, nothing has been decided.”
De Vries played it up in later races
However, before that, he passed the hot potato to Nyck De Vries. The AlphaTauri boss believes the Dutchman can show his talent to stay, but he needs to do it soon.
“In Formula 1, all drivers are under pressure. We will see how Nyck is in Austria, how he is in Silverstone because he knows these tracks. We must not forget that novice pilots are currently in a difficult situation., because if you look at the first part of the season, most race tracks don’t know about them. They have never raced in Melbourne before in Formula 2 or Formula 3, they have never raced in Saudi Arabia or Miami…”, he declared in favor of De Vries, from whom he expects a step forward on the tracks he knows such as Austria, Silverstone, Spa, Budapest or Monza.
“That’s why I always say that the driver needs a minimum of three years to understand all this. And we will see. I’m still confident that Nyck will do a great job.”, argument. It will be De Vries’ performance that will mark the team’s decision.
