Nyck de Vries has revealed in conversation with Ziggo Sport that he will have his interests looked after by Guillaume le Goff from this point onwards. The Frenchman has been Pierre Gasly's manager for several years and will therefore also take De Vries under his wing. Previously, the Dutchman did not have a manager.
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.
