'We're a big family and we get opinions. He [Horner] was not a fan of De Vries.' F1 AlphaTauri Formula1
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko revealed that Christian Horner was not keen on signing Nyck de Vries for AlphaTauri, and that currently Horner is being proven right.
That led to Red Bull snapping him up for the F1 2023 campaign, placing him in their junior team AlphaTauri alongside Yuki Tsunoda.And it turns out that Marko was the one advocating for De Vries getting that opportunity, while Red Bull team principal Horner was not sold on the idea.Asked onif he and Horner commonly have differing views on driver signings, Marko said: “Not often, but sometimes we do. The last one… I would say de Vries.
AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost, who will retire at the end of F1 2023, recently revealed that he also had an opinion on who he wanted as Tsunoda’s team-mate, with an AlphaTauri seat having been freed up when Pierre Gasly joined Alpine. Marko though stressed that AlphaTauri is the junior team for Red Bull, and with Schumacher having been a long-serving member of the Ferrari Driver Academy up until that point, De Vries was a better fit after that single appearance at the Italian GP.
