Daniel Ricciardo will reportedly replace Nyck De Vries at AlphaTauri immediately.
. Helmut Marko, Red Bull's motorsports advisor and the man responsible for setting driver lineups at the two teams, is not patient.
Ricciardo would doubtless like to be at a top team like Red Bull, challenging for wins and titles, but he has a good opportunity at AlphaTauri. If he can drag the dog-slow AT04 up through the mid-field and nab points wherever possible, he make himself appear to be an appealing replacement to Red Bull's struggling No.2, Sergio Perez.
Ricciardo tested the Red Bull RB19 today at Silverstone, and is set to make his AlphaTauri debut this weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix. As for De Vries, he won Formula 2 and Formula E championships back-to-back, and when he finally got his F1 shot last year, he stunned. But time and Helmut Marko wait for no one.

He joined the staff in 2016 and no one has figured out a way to fire him since. He street-parks a Porsche Boxster in Brooklyn, New York, much to the horror of everyone who sees the car, not least the author himself.
