Dr Helmut Marko has admitted he is not currently happy with Daniil Kvyat’s performance at Alpha Tauri. With Pierre Gasly on top form, it is no secret that the Alpha Tauri seat most in danger is Kvyat’s. “Yes, Daniil is not performing as we expect,” Marko, in charge of Red Bull’s notorious driver program, told Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper. Marko denied that Red Bull is planning to oust Kvyat before the end of the season. An even higher-profile Red Bull driver who is under pressure is Alex Albon, as he struggles to cope at the senior team alongside Max Verstappen. “His performance in Barcelona, including the strategy, was the fault of his race engineer,” Marko said.
