Marko leaves Kvyat and Perez in uncertainty: "Don't know why it's taking so long"

Most of the seats for 2021 have been filled by now. Only at Red Bull is there still a great deal of uncertainty. Although it is now clear who the candidates are for the second seats at AlphaTauri and Red Bull.

Daniil Kvyat knows that he will most probably have to make way for Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese driver convincingly finished in third place in the F2 championship last weekend and thus has enough points for his super license.

The Russian driver is getting a bit impatient that it is taking a long time to get his future confirmed. This is evident from his comments at the press conference in Abu Dhabi. "The team and I have spoken to each other. I don't know why it is taking so long, but you'd better ask Helmut this question," he is quoted by Formule1.nl.

Perez, who claims Alexander Albon's seat, has more patience. "Many team bosses congratulated me [after victory in Bahrain], including Helmut Marko. Red Bull is expected to make a decision after the weekend, but I don't know when that will happen. There is no rush. One or two weeks will not change anything".
