Marko Helmut He always spoke his mind. He doesn’t care about being politically incorrect. Let what is going on in your head at that moment, without thinking about the consequences or what they will say. And this time, the day after the announcement of the dismissal of nyck devries as pilot of AlphaTauri After only 10 races of the 2023 F1 World Cup (out of 22), Red Bull’s advisor and head of the team’s young talent program explained his reasons in statements to ‘De Telegraaf’. Again, Helmut didn’t cut his hair. He was blunt and stressed that he saw no signs of improvement in a De Vries who did not show pace.

“Why wait and what’s the point of two races if you don’t see any improvement?”, He commented on the idea of waiting two more races to decide whether or not to sack Nyck de Vries in the summer break, after appointments in Hungary and Belgium.
“The speed is just not there. Unfortunately, he never did a super lap.”added Marko, who had harsh words about the fact that De Vries fired him with immediate effect to replace him with a Ricciardo who they hope will regain his best version after his bad time at McLaren. “I think he can build a great career in Resistencia”concluded about De Vries.

In addition, Helmut Marko also referred to the possibility that this return of Daniel Ricciardo to AlphaTauri could be the first step for the 34-year-old Australian to replace the ‘Czech’ at Red Bull or put pressure on the Mexican. The Austrian defended the driver from Guadalajara and made it clear that Daniel first needs to show if he can take on Tsunoda, a driver he believes is underestimated by many.
