Nyck de Vries, the Dutch racing driver, is determined to prove Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko wrong through his performance on the track. Despite the public criticism he has faced from Marko, de Vries is focused on building momentum and finding his stride in Formula 1 without forcing results.
Since the start of the season, de Vries has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. A lack of competitiveness and numerous mistakes have marred his year so far. Marko’s public criticism of de Vries’ season, along with his revelation of disagreement with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner regarding signing the Dutch driver, has only intensified the scrutiny.
