The future of Nyck de Vries is still unclear. In fact, only the second seat at Alfa Romeo alongside Valtteri Bottas still seems to be available, but thanks to Toto Wolff an option may have been added.

During Friday's press conference, quoted by Giuliano Duchessa at Twitter, the Mercedes team boss said that Aston Martin, who have also not yet announced their drivers for 2022, cannot be ruled out.

"De Vries in an Aston Martin? I don't know. I understand it's better not to comment on other teams. Sebastian (Vettel) is someone who always knows clearly what he wants to do. Let's wait and see what he says."

De Vries still in limbo

As are Antonio Giovinazzi and the two drivers from Aston Martin and Haas. These are the only seats that are currently unsure for 2022. The chance that this will change this weekend seems small, but can certainly not be excluded.

Still, next week, when the attention is not fully on the weekend in Monza, would be a more logical moment to announce it.
