De Vries admits ‘it hurts’ as he speaks out after losing AlphaTauri F1 seat | Formula 1
Nyck de Vries has offered up his first public comments after the news broke that he will be replaced at AlphaTauri by Daniel Ricciardo from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards.
Shouldn't have talked yourself up so much then. Everybody thought he was too light for F1. He wined and wined till he got his chance and when he finally got to show what he was worth, what do you know, he was we too light for F1. Pikachu surprise face
No points finishes in 10 races while Tsunoda got 2. The Alfa Tauri is definitely bad this year but he has been consistently a few places behind. We'll see whether it's possible to do better when Daniel has had a few races but I can't help but think Nyck got unlucky in his rookie season. I don't think he's been shown on tv once either lol
He was shown every time he crashed in Baku :')
As much as it pains me, and I feel positively biased towards De Vries, I just don't think he has what it takes. His results never came, barring his quali at Monza '22 with Willians and the points that resulted from that one race. At AT he didn't come even close to Tsunoda, and how good Yuki really is remains to be seen imo.
