🗣️'I think Nyck will be looking for more than just to become a simulator driver.' Mercedes would 'welcome' ex-reserve driver Nyck de Vries back to the F1 team after his exit from AlphaTauri, but anticipates snaring a race seat will be his main focus ⬇️
: “Of course, it hurts that the F1 chance I dreamed of for so long ended prematurely. But life is not a destination, it’s a journey, and sometimes you have to take the hard road to get where you want to be.”
While de Vries considers his options, Mercedes F1 engineering director Andrew Shovlin has said the 28-year-old Dutch driver would be “welcome” back at Brackley in a reserve role. However, he reckons de Vries will instead covet a return to a front-lone race seat rather than take a job out of the limelight.
Asked by Autosport if there was a place for de Vries at Mercedes, Shovlin said: “I think Nyck will be looking for more than just to become a simulator driver so he’ll want to be doing racing.“He was certainly very useful for us in that role and would be welcome to get him back in that role. But I suspect his focus will be on finding race seats.“If it’s not in Formula 1, in some other big and competitive series.
