On Tuesday, it was announced that
Nyck de Vries had been sacked from AlphaTauri. The Dutchman's performance was disappointing and
Helmut Marko was adamant he replaced De Vries with
Daniel Ricciardo after only ten races. A day after the big news, the Dutchman was reportedly spotted in Monaco with
Mercedes team boss
Toto Wolff.
De Vries spotted with Wolff in Monaco
De Vries did not get beyond ten races at AlphaTauri. The 28-year-old was almost always slower than teammate
Yuki Tsunoda and will be replaced by Ricciardo in Hungary. The Australian was the reserve driver at
Red Bull Racing earlier this season. De Vries himself has yet to comment on the news.
On Wednesday, a day after the Dutchman was released from
Scuderia AlphaTauri, De Vries and Wolff were reportedly spotted together in Monaco. The former AlphaTauri driver has a past with Mercedes, as De Vries previously drove for the German constructor's
Formula E team and was a reserve driver there. Mercedes' team boss also felt De Vries deserved a seat in
F1 last year. Could Wolff still do something for the Dutchman in
Formula 1?
