🗣️ 'That's how Red Bull do it' Lewis Hamilton has said the early dismissal of Nyck de Vries from AlphaTauri was a typical Red Bull F1 move ⬇️
reserve driver in 2021 and 2022, made it clear that he felt the move to replace him before the summer break was premature.
Asked if he felt that de Vries was dropped too early, Hamilton said: “Yes. But that's how Red Bull do it.” Pushed on whether there was an aspect of it being how F1 works, in being tough on rookies, Hamilton added: “You can say that's how Red Bull works.” While Hamilton felt that Red Bull's move had been hasty, he maintained faith that de Vries' racing career was far from over despite the setback.“He's such a talented young man, and such a nice guy as well. I think the future is still bright for him and he will have lots of great options for the future.”De Vries’ exit from F1 has opened an opportunity for Ricciardo, whose return is no surprise for Hamilton based on how ingrained he has been in F1 weekends so far this season.
De Vries is the latest driver who has been the victim of a mid-season driver shuffle at Red Bull, although these have typically revolved around the energy drink company’s main team.
