Nyck de Vries will be the second Dutchman in Formula 1 next year, as you know GPToday to report. The 26-year-old driver from Sneek is said to have signed a contract with today, a day after the Dutch Grand Prix Alfa Romeo racing. He thus becomes the teammate of Valtteri Bottas.
De Vries became the first world champion ever in Formula E this season and therefore received the necessary attention. The Dutch driver is a protégé of Mercedes, but Toto Wolff has not yet been able to find a seat in the premier class for him. That would have been successful now, if we GPToday have to believe. “De Vries signed his contract this morning. Sources report to our editors: “Nyck will drive in Formula 1 next year and will make his debut. It is around and signed the morning after the Dutch Grand Prix,” they report.

Where De Vries signed is not one hundred percent certain, but it seems to be Alfa Romeo Racing. This means that De Vries will become a teammate of Bottas, who was confirmed as the new driver for 2022 earlier today. Antonio Giovinazzi start driving, but on the side of De Vries. Max Verstappen is therefore no longer the only Dutch driver in Formula 1. Incidentally, this is not the first time that this occurs, because in the past, for example, Christijan Albers and Robert Doornbos drove simultaneously in the premier class of motorsport.
