Guest on Servus TV, a channel belonging to Red Bull, Helmut Marko, motorsport consultant for the Austrian brand, returned to the episode of the non-signing of the extension of Daniel Ricciardo within the stable of Milton Keynes.
The Australian, whose continuation of the adventure with Red Bull Racing seemed almost established during the summer, took everyone by surprise by heading towards Renault Sport F1 Team, and thus initiate a great upheaval in the transfer market, which saw Fernando Alonso announce that he was leaving F1, Carlos Sainz move from Renault to McLaren, when Pierre Gasly was made official at Red Bull last night.
“Before the Austrian Grand Prix, Daniel and I met and we agreed,” comments Marko. In Hungary we agreed to sign during the private tests, but that didn't happen.
On Thursday he called me and told me he was leaving for Renault. I think he lost confidence in the Honda project and Renault offered him more. »
It now remains to Toro Rosso, Red Bull's sister team, to confirm its driver duo for 2019.
