It is “too early to speculate” about Daniil Kvyat’s future in Formula 1. That is the news from Dr Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s notoriously tough driver manager. As for the senior team, Marko said Alex Albon needs to continue to “adapt” to the difficult 2020 Red Bull. But he also said Red Bull has some of the blame for the Thai-British driver’s struggle, as the team tried to cure its early-season handling problems. “We tried a lot of experimentation to get the problem under control,” said Marko. He said Alpha Tauri’s Pierre Gasly will not be re-promoted to replace Albon. “We need a team leader at Alpha Tauri and he does that flawlessly,” Marko said of the Frenchman.
