, telling ORF that it “should be decided by Suzuka, [and only] then can we say what’s the deal”.Horner, though, isn’t saying whether or not the paperwork has been signed.
Asked what Red Bull see in De Vries that they’re not seeing in their own junior drivers, Horner said: “Well, you’re making reference to a situation that hasn’t even happened yet. So I’d therefore be unable to comment on it. So, you know, Pierre Gasly is a Red Bull Racing-contracted driver and continues to be so.”
Pressed on when De Vries caught Red Bull’s attention, Horner added: “I just reiterate that, you know, currently, Pierre Gasly is… We’re assuming that he’s left. He still remains a contracted driver that’s assigned to AlphaTauri. “Until that situation changes, there’s nothing really to say about a potential replacement or not. So yeah, that’s all I can give you.”With Latifi leaving the team after three underwhelming seasons, the Grove team needs a team-mate for Albon but won’t be rush in their decision“It’s not just up to us, the interest of other teams in Nyck de Vries is also relatively high,” said Williams CEO Jost Capito.
“We cannot and do not want to decide yet. If he chooses another team beforehand, that’s the way it is.”
