Nyck de Vries has signed up to make his full Formula 1 debut next year with Red Bull’s second team Alpha Tauri. Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko, who met with de Vries in Austria recently following the Dutchman’s impressive F1 debut with Williams at Monza, is not denying it. I think it would be very good for Alpine, but it must not be to the detriment of Alpha Tauri. If we were to release Pierre from his contract then we would need a replacement and that’s why we had a conversation with Nyck de Vries.”. As for de Vries, he has also confirmed his recent meeting with Marko. Marko said the uncertainty should all be over “by Suzuka” next weekend.
