This is De Vries' new manager on entering debut Formula 1 season

His contract negotiations with AlphaTauri for the 2023 contract were therefore done entirely by De Vries himself. Next year, as a rookie in the premier class, there will be more demands on the 27-year-old driver than ever, so De Vries will be working with a manager for the first time. Le Goff is mainly expected to take many tasks off his hands.

"From now on, I do have help from a management as it were. Personally, I don't really like using that term because I still very much value my relationship between the team and myself. Nothing will change in that either, but I do now have help from Guillaume le Goff who relieves me of everything," De Vries told Jack Plooij in conversation.

De Vries never felt the need for a manager because he wants to be directly connected in the team. He considers that important for personal relationships and a manager in between does not have a positive influence on that, according to the upcoming AlphaTauri driver. Now, however, the time has come, so De Vries has enlisted help from outside in the person of Le Goff.
