Nyck de Vries was the latest victim of Red Bull's sackings. Crash.net takes a look at the history of Red Bull’s ruthless approach to driver performance.
Kvyat’s demotion, just four races into the season, set a new tone for Red Bull’s handling of their youngsters.
Kvyat’s form nosedived at Toro Rosso, leading to him twice losing his seat in a matter of weeks - first to Pierre Gasly, and then to Brendon Hartley. Despite being axed from Red Bull’s driver programme at the end of 2017, Kvyat returned for a third stint with the team in 2019 following Gasly’s promotion to Red Bull. After two seasons, he was gone again after losing out to Yuki Tsunoda for 2021.Hartley had to wait nine years to be given his opportunity by Red Bull, which first came at the expense of Kvyat towards the end of 2017.
But following a difficult full-season alongside the quicker Gasly, Hartley became the next driver to get the boot after just three points scores in 21 races in 2018. Helmut Marko, the head of Red Bull’s driver development, decided the Kiwi’s performances were not convincing enough to ever consider him for a future Red Bull seat, making Hartley’s stint in the Red Bull driver pool one of the shortest.
