The early dismissal of nyck devries It has created quite a stir in the world of Formula 1. With only half of the grand prix disputed, Red Bull decided a few days ago that the pilot of AlphaTauri I wasn’t measuring up.
The decision of Marko Helmut was laying off DeVries and in his substitution he entered Daniel Ricciardo. Lewis Hamilton has expressed his opinion on Red Bull’s decision by contributing the odd ‘stick’ directed at Christian Horner’s team.
“I was definitely surprised to see the decision on poor Nyck… but this is how red bull does it. He is a very talented young man and a nice guy. I think the future remains bright for him and he will have many great options for the future.”
You have to remember that Hamilton and DeVries They coincided in Mercedes in 2021 and 2022 when the Dutchman was a reserve driver for the German team. The seven-time world champion has also spoken about the return of Daniel Ricciardo, just six months after his farewell to Formula 1.
“It’s been here all year… So he’s been in the driver briefings, but he hasn’t really raced, which is weird. You don’t normally see a reserve driver in the driver briefing, but I think I’m not surprised to see him back“, explained the English.
