Dutch driver Nyck de Vries has lost his seat at AlphaTauri in Formula 1, and he will be replaced by Red Bull reserve driver Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian was received to loud applause and cheers in Faenza.

Ricciardo replaces De Vries, who, according to Helmut Marko, was not performing to his high standards and was told a few days back that he would no longer be allowed to get behind the wheel of the AlphaTauri. Watch here how Ricciardo is welcomed near the base of the team, where he will drive for the rest of this season.
