Nyck de Vries believes he has done enough to warrant an F1 seat. F1
The Dutchman stepped in for Sebastian Vettel as Aston Martin partly fulfilled the FIA obligation which requires two rookies to participate in two FP1 sessions over the course of the season. Lance Stroll will have to sit out at some point in the future.
It was the third time this season De Vries has fulfilled this role having already driven in place of Williams’ Alex Albon at the Spanish Grand Prix and then Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton at the French Grand Prix. It is notable every team the 27-year-old has driven for has a Mercedes engine – the team with whom De Vries currently has a contract as a reserve driver.
His name is one that is often linked with vacant seats and that has proven to be the case again over the course of this summer with potential places at Alpine, AlphaTauri, Haas and Williams up for grabs. As it stands, the Dutchman looks unlikely to be given a chance at one of those seats, with younger or more F1-experienced drivers getting the nod ahead of him. De Vries has never shied away from declaring his dream is to race in F1 but, speaking after his run-out with“I don’t have a management, not really, officially as such,” he told F1.com when asked whether his management was working on getting him a seat for next year. “But time will tell. I don’t know, it’s out of my hands.
“Obviously, it’s a dream and I think I would deserve a chance, but ultimately it’s not up to me to decide a driver line-up.”
