Nyck de Vries has broken his silence and issued a statement following his recent firing from Red Bull’s AlphaTauri F1 team. The Dutch driver’s rookie Formula 1 season has been cut short, with Daniel Ricciardo taking his place for the rest of the 2023 championship.
In his statement, De Vries thanked Red Bull and AlphaTauri for the opportunity to live his dream in Formula 1. He expressed his disappointment that his F1 chance ended prematurely but emphasized that life is a journey, and sometimes one has to take the hard road to achieve their goals.
De Vries also clarified that he did not make the comments about Red Bull’s championship win in 2021 that appeared in the press. He stated that he hasn’t spoken to any media and will be taking some time away from social media to reflect and move forward.
The Dutch driver also expressed gratitude for the support he received from fans and well-wishers during this time.
