Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko praised Alex Dunne as a driver that the Formula 1 team admires, with reports indicating a potential move for the Irishman to their Milton Keynes-based squad. Dunne recently left McLaren’s Driver Development Programme before the conclusion of the Formula 2 championship. Despite his talent, Dunne has faced criticism for being involved in several incidents during the season, including a major one at Monaco. Nevertheless, his aggressive driving style and impressive speed have captured the attention of Red Bull, with discussions reportedly underway. Reports suggest Dunne could continue in F2 next year with Red Bull’s junior squad Racing Bulls, alongside his F2 sparring partner Arvid Lindblad, who is also on track for an F1 seat. While Lindblad already has an FIA Super Licence, Dunne still needs to earn his; Marko plans to monitor his performance in the remaining F2 races to assess his potential for the future.
