Helmut Marko names his "biggest m🌃istake" fꦗrom during his time in F1.
Helmut Marko has named signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck De Vries his “biggest mistake” as Red Bull’s F1 advisor.
Marko ha𒀰s played a key role at Red Bull since 2005, looking after their junior program⭕me.
The Austrian is often responsible for deciding which young drivers are signed to the team and who makes their F1 debut with R♎aci💧ng Bulls (formerly AlphaTauri and Toro Rosso).
Following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly’s decision to leave the ﷽team at the end of 2022 for Alpine, Red Bull faced a dꩵriver shortage.
They refused to giv🦄e the seat to a🐬ny of their junior drivers, opting to sign De Vries.
De Vries scored points in his one-off appearance for Williams in place of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix.
However, the Dutchman struggleꦫd to perform when given the full-time seat for 2023.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo ultimately replaced him after just 10 races.
“My biggest mi💎stake? No doubt about it, it’s Nyck De Vries,” Marko told Autosprint.
“He did very w♏ell on h♛is debut for Williams in Monza. But once he got to AlphaTauri, he didn’t progress.
“He had an incredible track record, FIA F2 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🉐 within for F1 2025.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson has replaced168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, while Isack Hadjar has joined 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda at RB.
