'We’re driving with Nyck de Vries […] and there’s actually nothing more to discuss.' AlphaTauri F1 Formula1
Franz Tost names the driver he wanted to sign but who Red Bull bosses ‘rejected’Franz Tost has revealed he put Mick Schumacher’s name forward for the 2023 AlphaTauri race seat but was overruled by Red Bull bosses who wanted Nyck de Vries.
However, the former Formula E champ wasn’t AlphaTauri team boss Tost’s number-one pick as he wanted Schumacher. “Then suddenly Pierre was awarded to Alpine, and that gave us a place. Until Monza, it was completely unclear who would be our driver. And then, logically, I thought of Mick Schumacher.” “Franz Tost, as the team manager and team principal, initially wanted a different driver because he knows that it takes two to three years [to get new drivers up to speed],” Schumacher revealed in an interview with Formel1.de.“But then Dr. Helmut Marko came along and, for personal reasons or whatever it may be, didn’t want that and chose Nyck de Vries instead.”
