Nyck de Vries is 'close' to be offered a F1 seat with Alpha Tauri who could sign the 27-year-old under the noses of a hesitant Williams.
The former Formula 2 and Formula E champion finished ninth in the Italian Grand Prix picking up two championship points after stepping in as a last minute replacement for Williams driver Alex Albon, who was ruled out with appendicitis.
Williams are yet to agree a deal with De Vries for the 2023 season and De Telegraph state that once current Alpha Tauri driver Pierre Gasly has sealed his move to Alpine, the Dutch driver will be signed as his replacement.
