Christian Horner confirms and explains reservations over ‘stopgap’ Nyck de VriesRed Bull team boss Christian Horner said he did not see how the signing of Nyck de Vries fitted into the Red Bull junior philosophy, and so his presence was always a “stopgap”.

“I think there was a general feeling that Nyck wasn’t quite hitting the mark. And then the question was what are the options if we were to switch things around?
