“It’s good to be back, but at the same time it’s a strange feeling,” admitted the Australian driver.
Official move to AlphaTauri, his former team principal in Red Bull says: “He in impressive form.”
The Australian driver will replace Nick De Vries in Alpha Tauri with immediate effect.
Red team principal: “We chose not to make noise, but we will make noise.”
The Australian is not only Red Bull’s third driver but also Alpha Tauri’s and could take Nyck De Vries’ place in the Faenza-based stable.
“They understood my desire to start something new,” said the pilot who will leave AlphaTauri.
The soon-to-be AlphaTauri driver told that the world champion convinced him over dinner to enter Red Bull orbit.
The Italian team published a harsh press release on its social media, defending its driver.
He also disappointed in Belgium; the Japanese has not been in the points for eight GPs.
The Alpha Tauri driver dreams of his first podium at home.
The Frenchman will run in Alpha Tauri again next year. He may leave in 2024.
