Nyck de Vries will race alongside Cunoda for AlphaTauri next year.
Shortly after the end of the last race of the season, the 2023 season kicked off. Sure, with a bit of exaggeration, but not that much.
Fernando Alonso has already moved into the background of Aston Martin on Sunday night. Testing takes place on Tuesday and a number of drivers will join their new teams: Piastri at McLaren, Gasly at Alpine, Alonso at Aston Martin. De Vries will then make his debut at the wheel of the AlphaTauri.
De Vries is unique among riders. During the year, they will test four of this year’s cars. In Friday free practice he drove with Williams, Mercedes and Aston Martin. Then he went to the Monza race with Williams. He will now try with AlphaTauri.
De Vries has worked for Mercedes until now, not only in F1 but also in Formula E, where he won the title. On Sunday evening, the Mercedes mechanics loaded De Vries onto a wheeled dolly and drove him to the AlphaTauri garage.
