Undoubtedly one of the strangest tales thus far this season. At the British Grand Prix, Nyck de Vries finally drove the Alpha Tauri. Daniel Ricciardo has been in the Faenza vehicle since Silverstone.

The Dutch driver was forced to leave Formula 1 at the start of his career after ten races plus the race from the previous year.

Regarding whether the 28-year-old ought to have maintained his seat to try to unseat Tsunoda, many have voiced their opinions.

Regarding the Dutchman, Toto Wolff stated. The German manager gave a straightforward explanation for why he was fired: “I am a fan of De Vries because he is incredibly intelligent in car development and has always contributed a lot.” “They wanted to see if Ricciardo was ready for Red Bull.” 

Even if his chance was fleeting, he now has other objectives. In an interview with RacingNews365, the former AlphaTauri driver stated his plans to attend the esteemed American institution of Harvard: “In September I’m going to take a course at Harvard in Negotiation and Leadership, a bit of study.”

The Dutch driver’s lack of academic background is the most astounding of all. Nyck de Vries concluded, “I’ve never studied before; I didn’t even finish high school. But with his farewell to F1, his schedule has been completely freed up, and studying is the best way to make the most of his free time. “I’m interested in learning a lot of things.” 

Nyck De Vries is not missing Formula One.

The Dutchman, a world champion in Formula E and F2, was gradually given his chance rather than based on his talents. De Vries, who doesn’t comprehend the choice, has discovered a new pastime to pass the time in addition to his studies: “I got a lot of support, and it was very natural. I’ve been playing a lot of golf since then.”

The Dutch driver’s doors remain open, but his responsibilities will change this time. On his comeback as a reserve driver, Toto Wolff said, “He was very useful for us in that role, and it would be welcome to have him back in that role. But I suspect he will want to focus on finding a seat to continue racing.”
