might have landed the Red Bull seat if they had more patience with him, Toto Wolff said.
De Vries was axed from Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri after just 10 F1 grands prix this season, replaced by Daniel Ricciardo. He previously acted as Mercedes’ test driver and was recently spotted chatting to Wolff in Monaco after losing his drive.“Maybe he needed more time,” Wolff told Sky about De Vries.“Maybe he would have been a really good candidate for the Red Bull seat, too?
“They wanted, I think, to do some benchmarking with Ricciardo. To see if Daniel might be able to take [Sergio Perez’s] seat.“I’m a fan of [De Vries] because he’s incredibly intelligent for vehicle development and has always contributed a lot.”
