Nyck de Vries will step away from the race tracks to go back to his studies
After just 10 races, Nyck de Vries was let go by AlphaTauri. The Dutch driver has decided to step away from motorsport to resume his studies.
Nick de Vries won’t even have completed a half-season in Formula 1. The 2021 Formula E world champion was let go after only 10 races as a full-time driver for AlphaTauri.
In 10 races, the 28-year-old driver was largely dominated by his former paddock neighbor Yuki Tsunoda. In qualifying, the Japanese driver won the battle against his teammate 8-2. The race results were also in favor of the AlphaTauri driver, who is starting his 3rd season in F1.
The Dutchman is not in a hurry to return to the paddocks. « I have had a lot of support and it happened very naturally. I have played a lot of golf since », the driver told racingnews365 at the premiere of the Gran Turismo movie.
The former AlphaTauri driver will return to his studies, as [his counterpart Nicholas Latifi did](link to article). « I never studied before in my life, in fact, I didn’t even finish high school, but in September, I will be taking a course at Harvard on negotiations and leadership, a little bit of studying. Mostly because I enjoy it now that I have the time and the interest to learn other things », explained Nyck de Vries.
