Today we're going to tell you the story behind
Nyck de Vries’s crazy 24 hours in Monza.
It was the ultimate job interview for a 2023 Formula 1 contract.
At last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix we were delighted to see
Alex Albon return after an emergency appendectomy and serious complications, ultimately requiring him to be put on a ventilator.
It was because
Albon couldn’t drive at Monza that
Nyck de Vries was thrust into the limelight, scoring points with a stunning debut drive. And now Autosport sources expect him to partner
Yuki Tsunoda at Alpha Tauri next season.
Today:
• Find out about the 60 minute warning he had to ‘suit up’
• His circuitous route to F1, and whether that was looking likely before his Monza performance
• After scoring points on his debut, which other F1 drivers have done the same?
Let's get up to speed with Autosport's Jake Boxall-Legge.
