Nyck de Vries has finally landed a Formula One seat.
With Pierre Gasly departing the Red Bull family for Alpine in 2023 on a “multi-year” deal, the Dutchman will join AlphaTauri next season and compete alongside Yuki Tsunoda.
“I’m extremely excited to be joining Scuderia AlphaTauri for 2023, and I want to thank both Red Bull and the team for giving me the opportunity to drive in F1. After Formula 2, I took a slightly different path with motorsport, but F1 has always been my dream and I’m grateful to be able to [sic] fulfill it,” de Vries said in a statement. “I’ve had a lot of chances to experience the 2022 car this year and I think that has put me in a great position for the upcoming season, I hope this has helped to prepare me for what is to come.
